    XFX XPS 650w 3XS PSU making Ticking/clicking sound

    Hello

    i have a older powersupply from XFX that makes this wierd electronic ticking /clicking noise. Its not the fan thats making the sound. See video below. Is anyone familiar with what component this sound can come from?

    All voltages are normal.

    The ticking sound changes as i draw more power from it, lets say i put 3 fans on one of the connectors, the sound gets faster and more quiet.

      maybe the PFC circuit has a loose coil that is moving with the pulses

          Interesting, I have a few APFC units that are also starting to get noisy, so maybe I need to do the same.
          Fingers crossed this was the issue. I always feed uneasy when APFC PSUs make strange noises.
