Annoying noise from the Corsair 850w PSU

[Soldier786]

Hi,
My Corsair 850w PSU seems to be a really strange noise, it just started out of nowhere... while i was playing a game.
Its a sort of ticking noise, really annoying...
Tried resetting CMOS to see if it had anything to do with it.. but no luck.
Built my PC in April...
Anyone got any ideas? Should i send it back?

Does it make the noise all the time, or just when gaming?

It could be the fan that ticks when the PSU spins it at a certain speed due to heat generated by combined gaming load.

Next time it does it try stopping the PSU fan with a soft but firm object, such as a pencil or pen and see if the noise stops.

Wow.. now it seems to be sorted.. i turned the PC off from the mains for around 3-5 hours... no noise, strange.. must be overheating or something .
