Power supply makes jet and cracking sounds.

[Tobiano]

Hello,

I have kolink KL-850M power supply in my pc and I think it's time to replace it. The fan is going on full speed all the time making unbearable noise and the cracking sound. The cracking sound is gone when I'll flip my pc on one side. Now, I don't think I could fix it but if you have any solutions that noob like me could apply that would be great. If not if you could advise me what kind of replacement I could buy that would be great as well.

Case; Kolink Inspire series K3 Micro ATX so there is that.
Rest of specs;
AMD RYZEN 5 3600
ZOTAC GEFORCE GTX 1660 SUPER
Motherboard is B450 I think, it was pre build pc from OCuk

Anyway, thanks for your help.

Kolink is garbage quality brand.
For start by any even remotely modern standards that's at most 750W PSU.
And when brander lies like that in sticker there's little reason to trust anything printed in it and consider it more like maybe 500W PSU.
With low quality in every part including fan.

While it might be just some wire sticking into fan blades making that cracking sound, only fix I would recommend for such PSU would involve either of these two channels:

Good 450W PSU would be more than enough for such basic PC.
But those really aren't cheaper than higher ups.
