I recently upgraded my graphics card and cpu cooler. Overall sound has become negligible, which I love. However, after around an hour of booting up, the PSU is making a clicking noise like this: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0bZi4BpPooF
Many people have told me that it could be caused by the fan hitting a component, but the fan is NOT running. I am thinking it may be the motor of the fan(motor is trying to run the fan but has not enough power or something). The fan works fine at bootup, then never runs again.
I would prefer not to switch psu, because the clicking sound is the only problem it makes; otherwise it is working fine. I currently cannot afford to buy another one.
I also have looked into taking apart the psu and maybe switching the fan? However I am not 100% sure the noise is coming from the psu fan. OH and people told me I could die if I don't handle it properly.
Can I get any suggestions on what I could do to fix this problem? it's getting really annoying to the point where I can't sit in front of my computer for a long period of time. I could not find any exact issue like mine on the forums or the internet.
Thanks
**I have a TX650 as my PSU
**sometimes the clicking intensifies or stops briefly when doing certain actions on the computer. ex) scrolling through a webpage with mouse wheel
