A few months ago my power supply started making crackling noises for a minute or so and then stop. It never bothered me because it didn't shut down my PC or anything like that and I thought it was coil whining at first. But now it has started doing the same noise again and now it won't stop. It has been doing this for a bit more than 20 minutes now and is still crackling as I am posting this. So far nothing bad has happened.
I started thinking if it was the fan hitting a cable but the sound seems to come directly from the outlet of the PSU.

I live in Sweden so XFX's lifetime warrancy does not apply here and I think the warranty has expired on this PSU already as I built this system for a bit more than 2 years ago
If my specs are needed:
M5A78-M LX3 Motherboard
XFX PRO550W PSU
AMD FX-4100 (Stock settings with Hyper 212 EVO)
AMD Powercolor 6850 (Stock settings)
Kingston HyperX 2x4GB RAM
WD Blue 500GB HDD
WD Black 1,350GB HDD
Coolermaster Elite 430
