Should be fine. Try checking all your fans for Dust.

I get a weird buzzing noise that seems to be at it worst when im playing Farcry.The note of the noise changes when I press keys etc and the noise goes when i go to the menu or task manger. Any ideas would could be causing this ? Does any have a noise sample of mosfets buzzing?( so i could compare to see if thats the prob)

Also what could cause this i turn on the computer everything spins then stops 4 secs later it all boots any ideas ?

thanks again

I've heard of Corsair's PSUs buzzing before so that could be a possibility yes.
