My PSU bought in April last year has started to sound really noisy like a hard disk accessing when its about to die, not all time just every 30 secs or so.

Does it need a clean out of dust (whole system isn't really that dusty as I keep it clean but PSU needs removing to get too) or does it sound like its faulty?

Thanks :)
 
Thanks zakblood, I'll give it a go with the air. Also seen something on youtube about an XFX PSU that the fan comes a little loose and if you push down on the centre with a pencil end to locate it properly into the bearing it can cure it. But as Blue160 says, I won't be opening it up as its still in warranty so if no joy will RMA it. Thats a bit of a pita as that means no pc!
