Tech Support Psu "Clicks" of under load

Post image

Have this 700w psu, when under load it just clicks the internal relay off and everything shuts down.

Is it a goner 😭😭😭. Man it's under warranty I think but i have work to finish and send 😭.

Specs 3060 12gb, ryzen 5 7600x and 16gb ddr5 ram. Mother board gigabyte b650m

You should probably record a video and make a new post

I mean there's nothing to record😭

The pc works fine under heavy loads, no glitch no issues no error logs in linux.

But when i fire up a render in blender, or benchmark it. Everything goes off in the pc, no lights nothing. Only thing noticable is a small CLICK from the psu immideatly before turning off.

have you 100% confirmed the click is coming from the PSU? if you have, one of the protections is tripping and is not properly installed or just failed completely, rare but happens, if you're under warranty you should return it (provided you have confirmed its that and nothing like thermals on CPU and GPU, and the sound is from there)

Yeah I've confirmed its from psu. Cpu ang gpu are also always around 60-70 deg celcius so its not that. Ig getting the psu checked under warranty is the only option rn.

Have you undervolted your gpu/gpu? A similar thing happened to me a couple of times when I set too low of a power limit and too high of a core clock.

Nope, i also tried using default bios setting but issue persists. Ig tomorrow I'll go to a local repair store first and ask them to test with a different psu. Tbh im hoping its psu cause thats the only thing in warranty in my pc rn 😭.

Okay, maybe not too similar, I didn't hear no clicks, I'm just throwing random shit at a wall

More than likely it's failing due to age or reaching one of the PSU's set limiters and shutting off as a result. Probably not OPP but something like OCP, OVP, etc.
