Purchased this power supply, when ever I turn my computer on(it boots), or turn it off, I hear a single click sound come from the PSU is this normal?

You should not hear any clicking. This unit is rather quiet.Interestingly enough the first one I bought started making a loud Vibrating noise. I had to have it replaced. My new one did it again (once so far). I'm concerned that the quality of this model is not up to what I expect from Corsair.

mine does the same.. check your voltages in the BIOS though from what I've read it's the fan controller on the PSU switching on and off.. you'll be fine :)

I have the same psu and I just tested it and it did indeed make a clicking sound.

I've had an R835 since issued -and prior Portegés- and have never gotten any clicking noises. The only thing I hear is the occasional, yet-quiet fan hum.

Please check all the connections and replace with a new power supply. If the problem remains please send it back.Thanks!

I also just bought the laptop and I am hearing this weird clicking sounds constantly!I called tech support and they said it was part of the HDD Protection Settings, so I turned it off and the noise stopped briefly but came back. I think I will have to call again because this is noisier than the 2007 laptop I had before.If it doesn't stop I will return the laptop.

Hi Joseph, my Lepa 1600W PSU failed on me after a few days of operation but, thank God, no components were damaged. I've read good things about this PSU so my problem was the exception rather than the rule. Just a WAG on my part but I imagine your experience will be better than mine; in any case, the most important thing to me is it didn't take out anything else when it failed.

I made sure all the connections were the same (marked them) as I took off the old power supply and mine started right up. Maybe you have something connected incorrectly to the motherboard that relays power from the start button, good luck.

No, It's not normal. It's probably 60 (Hz) hum. Try reversing you AC plug, that should fix the problem 90% of the time. If that doesn't work try grounding the case.

your power cord is connected to your powersupply man. if you dont have a 6 pin connector you have to upgrade your psu

The one I got booted up fine and was nice and quiet during idle on the desktop. But load up an intensive game, and the fan was very noticeable. I could hear it from outside the room, down the hall, and downstairs. I returned this M12II and got a Seasonic X-850 GOLD Seasonic X-850(SS-850KM3 Active PFC F3) 850W 80 Plus Gold ATX12V/EPS12V Power Supply instead, and have been happy with it for the last 2 years and counting.

this power supply works well with your PC, however, I'm not sure you fix the problem of orange light, many forums suggest that is the problem, I recommend you try first with another power supply to see if the problem is the PSU

I'm not quite sure how you would go about doing that but I would say check your CPU and GPU temperatures while under stress first and make sure nothing's overheating. As far as PSU failures go you should rule out everything else first. A defect in the PSU is always possible but unless it's really old I would say chances are very slim.

I have not had that occur. I wish I could tell you more about what is causing that noise. It might have done so, but I had mine installed by a professional and I was not there for the testing. I have not had a power failure so it has not had to kick in either, so I haven't heard it in operation.

Without knowing much about your setup, such as the power brick feeding your PSU, I can only reccomend return through amazon for another one

It was not noticeable. I don't recall any sound coming from the cooling fan. that said, It didn't last a week before it burnt up. I sized the PSU to more than double what was needed for this build. I replaced the PSU with a Thermaltake Smart 630watt Power Supply bought locally as the return time had expired. The Thermaltake has performed flawlessly and powers the AMD Phenom 2 x4 960 3.00 ghz Processor and the AMD Radeon HD6800 video card with out even the slightest studder. If you decide to purchase the Raidmax Hybrid make sure you install and run within the return policy time constraints or you'll be left holding the bad part at your cost. It was not noticeable.

Hi, not really sure what your problem is but i will advise you contact Gigabyte support. I'm using it with a 1100w power supply and never came to such an error

I haven't noticed any "clicks". When I first boot the PC, you can definitely hear the drive power up and start to spin ,but no clicking.

I doubt it is the power supply but again I can not be sure. I would think it could be a camera issue if this is what happening.
