My rig http:// Ive swapped in two 3tb toshiba hard drives, a Corsair Coolermaster 600w psu bronze, an asrock h170m pro4 mobo, 16 G Skill 2133 mhz ram, intel i5 6600, and an r9 380x 8gb gpu.
Now, I've been hearing a whirring noise from within my pc. I used a stethoscope to isolate where the sound was coming from. It's coming from the psu. It's high pitched, and real annoying. Now, I cant notice it when I am gaming, even when i mute the games. I was thinking if I set my chassis fan to spin faster when idel, that might cover the noise up. However, my system idles at around 27c, and my bios fan settings only ramp up when it hits 30c, so without gaming, the fan never ramps up.
I tried torture testing with OCCT for 90 mins, did not change anything. I cleaned the psu of dust, reseated everything in the pc, still, it happens. In fact, it might even be worse now.
So, do I need to buy a new psu to get rid of this issue?
