PSU making noise! My PSU just started making a noise, like if something's touching the fan. It's a different computer from the one in my specs. It's a sturdy black one, however this PC has no case and the PSU is positioned in a way that the fan is on top and sucks in air, so a lot of dust goes in. Since September it was this way. But a minute ago it's making this loud noise, though nothing's touching the fan. Should I turn off my computer or not. I'm doing a LOT of stuff right now. Once my house doesn't burn.  PS. I only restart my computer after 3 months when I need to reinstall Vista - yes I could activate it however it's a reminder Windows got bloated over the period of time. | My System Specs |

Hi StackOverflow,
I would shutdown the computer and take the PSU out and use canned air to blow out anything that may be in the PSU with the fan facing downwards. Hopefully that will end the noise. If not, the PSU fan may be going out on it. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Self built custom OS 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 & Windows 8 Enterprise CPU Intel i7-3930K 3.2 Ghz (O/C 4 Ghz) Motherboard ASRock X79 Extreme11 Memory 32 GB (8GBx4) G.SKILL DDR3 Quad PC3-19200 2400MHz Graphics Card Sapphire HD5870 Eyefinity 6 2GB Sound Card SB Recon 3Di Integrated Chip Monitor(s) Displays 3x 27" Asus VE278Q Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution Mouse Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution PSU OCZ Series Gold OCZZ1000M 1000W Case Thermaltake Level 10 GT Snow Edition Cooling Corsair Hydro H100 Hard Drives 256GB OCZ Vector
