It could be the fan in the PSU, try taking a vacuum to the case or something in case it's just clogged by dust. | ||

Does it sound like an angry dog barking? Rottweiler or Chihuahua? Or, god forbid, a beagle? Oh man you're in trouble if it's a beagle. | ||

Also i wouldn't recommend stopping your processor fan while your pc is on these things go from 50ºC to 200ºC Degrees in a few seconds if your running some hardcore programs though it your pc would probably shut down automatically to prevent this from happening but still. no progs were loaded.

Get a pencil or something and stop your Power Supply fan with it to test. | ||

(50-60 is the point where you should be panicking) | ||

It's not necessarily overheating, they just tend to set it so it ramps up to full speed as soon as it gets remotely hot. | ||

*Bear in mind I'm no computer guru, but do know some basic things, so take what you will. 1) Unplugged the power, opened the case, and unscrewed the 4 screws holding the psu to the case. 2) Then unscrewed the 4 additional screws holding the fan to the psu itself. 3) If you look at the top surface of your fan, there should be a circular sticker in the middle about 2cm in diameter. Peeled off the sticker about halfway (didn't take it off completely because it needs to stick back on). 4) Put in about 1-2 drops of machine oil into the hole that the sticker was covering. I didn't have machine oil so I used grape seed oil as a substitute (I'm not sure if this is dangerous in any way, but it worked for me). 5) Put the sticker back on tightly over the hole and give the fan a few spins to get the oil mixed in. 6) Screw everything back in. Also, I unplugged the psu from all the other hardware and completely removed it from the case so that I wouldn't accidentally drop it on the motherboard and other sensitive parts, but it's your choice if you want to detach the psu completely. If anyone knows of any problems with this solution, feel free to chime in. Just my two cents, though. Hope it helps. | ||

1.) take out everything that you can off your mother board and take as much as you can out of casing(including MoBo) 2.) clean the shit out of everything(dust is most likely the sidekick of a more than likeley overheating villian) also you can oil up the fans a bit. 3.) put everything back in, if it still doesn't work then try your power supply on another computer. 4.) If it is still making noise in the original but not in the other computer it would have to be a cpu overheating issue. try to get your heat sync in the right place and make sure everything is being effectively cooled.

In worst case your cpu will melt and ruin your mobo 2.(maybe even other things on your mobo like your video card) | ||

(50-60 is the point where you should be panicking) If the temps of anything but your gfx card (even thats high) are at 70 celsius than you need to get your cooling shit straight. anything above 50 for hard drive/cores is like wtf cool asap. | ||
