so is it definitely the PSU then? Have you narrowed it down to that?

Yes im afraid so. Ive tested literally everything in my case, gpu fan, case fans, cpu fan, all of which are manually controlled by me apart from the gpu but the gpu fan is fine because i ramped it to lowest then up to max and it never clicked. Put my ear next to a tube, pointed at the psu and its definitely that. but it cant be the fan though. The PSU fan speed is the same but it clicks in game but not out?

Yeah its fine.
 
Have any of u guys actually took one apart directly under the fan there's normally a plastic insulators that some times can bend up due to heat and considering the fan is the only moving part I would say the blade is hitting this

Take psu apart and remove fan check to see if any thing is interfering by looking at the insulator and heatsink also check fan blades for marks

If all ok then I would say fan bearings u should be able to swap fan for another

Then discover this isn't the case, and then realise you are screwed because your warranty is now VOID.
 
Personally if it was me and it wasn't just doing it under load, ie it was making the noise at idle I would remove the PSU from the PC case and power it up using the paperclip method with no devices attatched to it. It would then give you a chance to listen all around the PSU and possibly pinpoint where the sound is coming from.

It's prob not much use now as you are 100% certain it is the psu but this is what I'm talking about : clicky

Just get it RMA'd now anyway and try not to worry too much about it!
 
OK, well it looks like im going to have to spend about an hour unwiring it all because ive done extreme cable management *sigh* and ill have to do it all over again which took me 3 hours *bigger sigh* lol :s Ohwell, ill get this newbie boxed up and stuff and hope that it doesnt play the 'goodboy' trick when overclockers get it and then i have to pay out £30 in postage and RMA fee's..

Postage there maybe but not postage back and what RMA fee?

I thought that if you sent something off to get RMA'd, if found not faulty you have to pay the company the charges for postage to get it to them, to get it back and a fee for the RMA itself.
