Hi! I've got a problem with my Enermax PSU, it makes strange noises when the GPU needs more power. You can listen to it in the video.

And which brand do you prefer? (except Corsair, it's cheap rubbish)

ok, thanks. But changing the fan to a Noctua NF-F12 will solve the problem, right?
And will a Seasonic M12II-620 handle an amd r9 280x? (because I am thinking of buying a new GPU)
