I have a Xigmatek (NRP-PC502) 500W PSU (Purchased from Iamextreme.net)
2 days ago my PSU started making random sparking sounds after suffering two power outages (at a short interval)
A friend suggested the sounds are normal (said it was the PSU's own machinery getting stressed but nothing it couldnt handle) since it was raining, i guessed the power fluctuation could be causing the sparks so i ignored it (also there is no visible light/spark, just audible 'bzzt'-ish sounds that last a second or two) Today, the PSU made the sound again, should i be concerned? This is the first time im dealing with such an issue, normally my psus would silently die.
Also, I have 5 months of warranty remaining.
