Power supply clicks - it may be because of that

The power supply unit supplies the components of your PC with electricity. If the power supply clicks, it is mostly due to dust or dirt. We'll show you more reasons for clacking and how to fix it in this article.

Power supply clacks: the most common errors and solutions

If your power supply makes strange clacking noises, you should act immediately:

• Before you start working, you must disconnect the PC from the power supply. Otherwise you risk an electric shock!
• Open the housing of the PC and take a look at the power supply and the fan. In many cases, dust and dirt has accumulated here, which you can carefully remove with a vacuum cleaner.
• In addition, all fans should be exposed and not blocked by cables or objects. Therefore, check whether all fans run smoothly.
• The clacking of the power supply can often be due to the fact that the bearings are knocked out and this is the reason for this noise.
• However, you should refrain from independent repairs and take the component to a specialist.
• If you still have a warranty on the power supply, you can claim it and have the power supply replaced.
