2080 Ti build - PSU already having issues. Suggestions?

My current build:

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge WiFi Motherboard

EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Black

EVGA Supernova 750 G5, 80 Plus Gold 750W

G. SKill Trident Z Neo Series 32 GB

Noctua NH-D15 140 mm dual tower cpu cooler

x2 Samsung EVO SSds

x2 Western Digital HDDs

Cooler Master HAF XB Evo (from previous build)

 

Hello everyone. I've only had this EVGA Supernova 750 G5 for a little over a month, and I'm already having issues. Under any moderately significant load, it produces a very noticeable vibrating/rattle/grinding noise. I'm not talking coil whine (which it does have and had from day one). My roommate and I thought a cable was obstructing one of the fans it is so loud. This noise can be reproduced consistently. For example, going from the very first screen in COD MW to the Multiplayer menu where a model is rendered and the load increases. It immediately begins to make this noise, as it does in any game I have tested so far. I have been gaming with my headset on and unfortunately did not discover this noise until recently when I got up to get a glass of water during a session, but I can only assume that it's been doing this the whole time. As this is a pretty pricey build, this is pretty concerning to me and at this point I would rather replace it with an entirely new and different PSU. While I am curious as to what might be the nature of this problem (maybe as simple as a bad fan) I have no interest in continuing to use such a critical component that is already acting up.

If anyone here has some suggestions for a PSU based on my build, I would really appreciate your input!

Could just be a bad fan. Return it to the store, or get an RMA from EVGA. 

With that PSU and that GPU, one would expect coil whine, and also for the fan to spin quite fast under load.

For a replacement, assuming that you care about noise, check the BitFenix Formula, Corsair RM and Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium.

Thanks for your response. I'm going to get a Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium. I had my eyes on it so thanks for the suggestion.

Make sure to take advantage of the $30 MIR, because my recommendation was based on that.

I tried a 650w supernova g3 a year ago, and I returned it asap. It was extremely loud, the fan ran at maybe 1800rpm. I don't understand why evga would make allegedly efficient, and still loud psus. I'd had 2 be quiet psus before the evga, and I replaced it with another be quiet straight-power unit.
If I had to buy one now, I'd get at least an 80+ gold, either seasonic or be quiet, whichever is cheaper or has better warranty.

G3 and G5 are completely different PSUs, BTW.

fair enough. I just wanted to share my experience with an evga psu.
