Hello.
A few months ago, I purchased the above PSU for my Gaming Rig. The PSU has been flawless for Gaming and just about everything else. About 2 days ago, I decided the PSU needed cleaning, as dust build-up was getting bad. So, I completely removed the PSU from my rig and cleaned it with a good branded Air Duster. The process taken about 10 minutes because the Dust was so bad. I managed to eliminate about 95% of the dust, the PSU was cleaned outside in my back garden, so plenty of good ventilation to help stop issues.
The PSU was rested for around 3 and a half hours before I reinstalled it to my rig. Once it was fitted and turned back on, everything was working but the PSU started making a rather annoying whine noise that wasn't a issue before cleaning?
Have I caused a fault when I cleaned it? Is it possible to fix without opening the PSU?
