Hey guys, first post on here so be kind 
Recently built my first PC and am very happy with it. However, I noticed that the PSU fan was getting very loud during any gaming and the only way I have found to stop it is to remove the sound card from the case and use onboard audio instead. It's not a big problem but I just wondered if it was maybe down to the PSU not being powerful enough? I'll list my parts and see if anyone has any ideas. Cheers.
