I have recently got a new motherboard and gtx 780Ti. The gfx card is a Gigagbyte Windforce x3 450w version. It seems whenever I am in game and the graphics card goes under load, the PSU fan stops spinning and makes a buzzing sound. It is a corsair HX1050 so surely it isn't short of power, does anybody know what could be causing this?

It sounds like it is overheating. Is the fan set to always on or is it in quiet mode? Is the PSU fan vent occluded? If there is a PSU case vent filter, is it clean?

I'm not positive that model has this feature.
