I have an Ultra Xfinity 600 (ULT-XF600) power supply
I just came home, and I instantly noticed that the computer is significantly louder than before. I check it out, and it's definitely the PSU - in fact the fans are pushing much more air than previously.
I know the fans adjust speed based on operating temperature. I don't know of any way to directly monitor the temps, but the unit feels completely cool to the touch. I turned it off for about 15 minutes, unhooked all components (aside from motherboard), but no resolution on power up.
My best guess, is that some component is going bad, overheating, causing the PSU to overwork to compensate. Ambient temperature is ~76F, and the computer was on and functioning perfectly fine. In fact, I fired up some 3D games earlier in the day.
Is there anything I can to to monitor the health of the power supply or further troubleshoot the issue without cracking open the case?
