Cons
- Coil whine is normal under load. Any other noise is concerning. I would just get a new PSU for the noise alone
- I wouldn’t use it.
- If its rattling, whining, and your PSU is already 10.5 years old I would suggest getting a new one. I don't think it's worth waiting to see if it will bite the dust and potentially damaging any other components in your system. So to stay...
- I would've torn my PC open already in your shoes, no way would I risk such valuable components with a *decade-old PSU* lmao. Get that thing out of there and pick up a replacement before it fries the lot.
- Hello my 10.5 year old EVGA Supernova G2 850W started making noises. Its a rattle sound in idle sometimes and coil whine under load.

The G2 was a top tier PSU EHICH has a ten year warranty I think. So quality shouldn’t be an issue but parts do get worn out so is probably time to retire it.
