My coolermaster extreme power plus 460w also produces this kinda sound occassionally. It would go away after a while so I'm not too bothered about it haha.

yea, short circuit will happen when 2 cable rubber inside PSU are melted and touching each other.

that happens only when over heat?

yup.
if psu using sucky components , the psu circuit direct explode due to too hot.

i just bought a huntkey green star psu and installed it like it is suppose to be... turn on the power... not even five mins it went off... what might be the problem?


EDIT:
alright it wasnt about psu.. it's just my heat sink loosen and now it's solved... it shuts down because the core temperature went p to 8x... anyway... solved... ty

hello bro..sorry for my noob question... i hv mobo dg965ry and want to use silverstone st56f(missing 8pin to 4pin cable). can i use it(PSU)? coz my mobo use 24 pin & 4 pin ATX..thx for reply

Not price, certifies.


Whats your budget?

i know Enermax has one version that go up to 84-88% efficiency

If i am not mistaken, they called it Enermax Pro 82+, i checked the price at LY the other day and they are selling it at below RM450. That is for 525W. You might think about it.

This model compliant with Energy Star v4.0 and Blue Angel and 80 PLUS efficiency

Give it a try dude

Enermax Pro 82+

highly recommended. but the price abit expensive ooh

those branded and PSU with quality of cause will be expensive a bit ler

But it is worth it. There is one time when my friend used RM50+ PSU. He got "DOUBLE KILL" after the lighting struck.. hahaha.. i can only laugh at him.
His motherboard was damaged for both PC. Even HDD is burnt.. sad but it's true

btw i am using Coolermaster CM M520 520W psu cukup makan for my E8400 or not ? included 8800GT

AMD phenom x3 8450
Kingston 800mhz 1Gb x 2
Gigabyte S2H mobo
WD320g Hdd

for rm350, i would rather go for ST56F although it has lower wattage than Huntkey's
seeing how their PSU exploded, i don't think i would ever trust that brand

no huntkey.

Can someone answer my Question ? is CM M520W PSU able to support my upcoming spec ?
Intel E8400
Gigabyte P35 Extreme
8800GT
120GB hdd
2GB ram
