It's a Corsair HX650 from 2009, the professional range has a guarantee of 7 years so it's well within date.
I noticed a swishing noise when I was rummaging in the case, went through every fan and the H50 pump turning them on and off but no. Finally checked the psu and yes, when stopped the swishing goes away.
Have a listen:

I stopped the fan in the clip using a bit of rubber tube.
Is an annoying swishing noise a viable replacement reason?
It's not that much louder than the rest of my system but the fact that it changes tone makes it distinguishable from much further away.
It would be about 10 mins work to replace the fan but I'm not all that keen to lose 5 years of warranty over it
