Hello community!
I have an LC-600H-12 v2.31 and when I play high performane games and such, my PSU fan gets a bit noisy. Its much louder than all of my other fans. didnt know its the PSU until I stopped them all with my finger. Is there anything I can do? its 600W and should support my rig.

Specs:
KFA2 Gtx 1070
AMD-FX 8370 4Ghz
1TB HDD
Socket AM3+ - AMD 760G - GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 4.1) Mobo
Ethernet cable connection.

Especially since I upgraded my loud CPU fan, I noticed that its quiet loud. its not any disturbing noise, just a loud fan spinning really fast.
Anything I can do? except for buying a better one..
 
Its a low quality unit and only claims 480w across both 12v rails but you can only use 1 rail (12v x 20A = 240w) as your gpu only has one 8 pin power socket. Your really stressing out that single 12v rail under load. You need a better quality PSU, wattage alone is meaningless.

What PSU would you recommend? Id like it to be under 60€ or so...
Should be quiet even at high load and of course support my rig.
