Ok, I have this problem where sometimes, I can hear a high pitched noise from my computer and also I can sometimes hear an annoying noise and I am lead to believe that the PSU and FAN has gone! I am prepared to buy a new one, but not for the sake of it! Has anyone heard this problem before?
Buggered PSU?

I am not sure what you mean buy this, but the high pitched noise only appears when I do the odd things
You think the PSU fan is dead? There's a simple and effective test. Put your hand near it.Have you confirmed that the PSU is where the noise comes from?
All I know is that it is coming from around the PSU/Graphics area, at the bottom left of my HAF X
oh, No, I am using a radeon 5850 which I bought about a year ago, A HIS ICOOLER version
ok, how do I try it! I'm a novice to this sort of tech
Ok, Cheers for the reply, but I was another website, and I have found out the problem! lol, Its because the framerate is too high apparently, I was starting "Minecraft" and the framerate was on 400, so I enabled "limit framerate", Cheers for the help anyway! Also, what do you guys reckon to this

Compared to a Corsair Modular AX1200 power supply for example! As I am thinking of getting a new PSU as mine is pretty much dead, and it's not a very good brand, "Generic" if you'd like to call it! So I thought I'd have a look on here at PSU's and saw the OCZ ZX
ok, cheers..So what do you reckon to that OCZ ZX 1250w???

oh lol, here is my specs mate;
Intel i5 750
p55 4 pin mobo
3 sata 2 drives
2 dvd/blu ray reader drives
watercooling with 120mm rad
and about 4 200mm fans that are red led and one 120mm for rad

5850, soon to be crossfired
I want the PSU to be future proof and I have my PC on about 12 hours per day

Am I right in saying that I have heard problems with those supplies..
"There's a lot of complaints about the annoying buzzing noise the modular XFX PSU's make... so if you don't like noise I would avoid them."
I don't want to buy one of these and my pc isn't quiet and is making unusual noises! Also, the higher the efficiency, the better!
