This is how my Corsair CX600M fan sounds, like an old-type noisy hard disk drive frequently chugging away when writing. Does this definitely mean it’s on its way out?
Also, whilst the item is no longer available at Novatech, I think the PSU may have had a 3-year warranty on it. Would it be possible to get a refund or replacement? I bought the item back in August 2014.
I’m sorry to hear your Power Supply is giving you a headache! I know it can be a pain when things go like that.
If you’re able to get in contact with us on the following email: customer.services@novatech.co.uk with your order number, we can certainly take a look and see how we can help; and if needs be check the Warranty on the item and see if it’s something we’re able to get back and have repaired for you.
I would prefer a refund, but I doubt that’s going to happen.
What is a GOOD budget brand of PSU? I found out just last night that the CX600M was actually a rebranded inferior PSU, and there have been many dissatisfied customers of it. I need one which will be good.
Generally Corsair make some pretty decent power supplies, I own three of them currently for different machines.
EVGA are another good brand of PSU, and our Novatech units definitely hold their own.
