This is the first PSU I ever bought for a PC, and first time installing one in a new case to move my build over from an old. My old PSU was one that came with my pre-built PC which was 500w. It started making some grinding and humming noises for a while and I also upgraded my cooling method for my CPU. I originally had a Thermalake CPU Cooler which I hated because it always got so hot. But I had to upgrade my PSU because my old one was not giving enough power. My RGB Fans and my Liquid Cooler RGB Lights would either dim or turn completely off and sometimes the PSU would get even louder like it was working a lot harder to keep the power flowing which caused a lot of performance issues. I. Love. Everything about this PSU, it's so much quieter, my computer is performing like new again, and all of my lights are staying on with no issue. I took online advice and made sure not to go cheap with this kind of thing because one cheap psu, if it's bad, it can go from cheap to expensive if you know what I mean. Your entire PC can fry which would make every component unsalvagable which means replacing the entire thing!
My old PSU has been making the noises at least for over a year, I didn't think anything of it. I kept up with cleaning and maintaining it every 3 to 6 months to make sure dust never accumulated enough to cause issues. I'm still fairly new to this PC building thing but as far as my experience with this PSU so far, it's great, it's quiet, and it made my pc performance so much better. Take the advice like I did, don't go cheap with something like this. You won't regret it. The heart of your pc deserves the best for its lifespan.
