Hello a couple weeks ago I had to purchase a new PSU, upon spending a day researching and reading up on them I decided to purchase the Xfx ATX 550w. it had good reviews and alot of recommendations. upon purchasing the unit, the first couple of days went smoothly. A week latter I began getting this noise

what could be the cause of this? its a brand new PSU so how could this already be happening? any help would be appreciated :) 

i will also post the amazon link:

Are you sure it's coming from the PSU?
What about the other fans in the system? They could be clogged up with an accumulation of sucked in dust, impeding the fan until it manages to free itself (that's when the noise drops).

If you are sure it's the fan, return it.

Bad fan\ bearing , it's a great power supply , but all brands have a few bad ones mixed in.

XFX is made by the best in the business Seasonic.
