There's insufficient air passing through the fan. Just push the PSU back a bit. Ideally, you can also buy a magnetic fan filter for your PSU. Silverstone sell them and they are very handy.

+1 to the filter if you plan on keeping it outside the case. Most quality PSUs have an intake fan, make sure its getting cool air and not intaking what the pc exhausts for example
