So my power supply has been making some noise which I think is fan related.
A little bit after I got the PSU and got it up and running, it started making some noise (Sounds like something's vibrating). I suspected a wire or something was hitting the fan but after using a torch, that was not the case. I stopped the fan with a piece of cardboard and the sound stopped with it.
The sound comes and goes, and usually stays away for a while after i stop it with cardboard. I think it has something to do with the fan bearing (Going off what I've read, I actually have no idea about this). Normally it wouldn't be much of an issue since noise doesn't bother me but my tower sits on the desk pretty much next to my ear so it's become quite an annoyance. Also, I'd prefer a fix that doesn't need me opening up the power supply since I'd rather not void the warranty in case of an electrical fault.
