PSU Problem

[Bruh1]

Hi guys.

I'm in need for some serious help.

I built my pc like 3 4 months ago and it was working flawlessly for this time, and today all of a sudden my psu started making this weird noise like the fan is making sort of a buzzing/like its hitting something noise maybe? i cleaned it with some air and thought the issue was fixed and it came back. the issue happens after like 20 mins of heavy gaming.

What should I do? try to take it a part and clean it correctly ? 

Contact corsair for warranty and send it back?

its a corsair 650 txm psu.

Don't know what to do , is it a heat issue?  i m not sure cause i have 6 fans in my pc and has pretty good airflow.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: psu fan works perfectly fine on light load or gaming for a short time but after a while it makes the noise again. Its weird cause the psu is overspec'd , its a 650w 80+ gold for a Ryzen 5 3600 and a 1650 super.... a system that consumes 200w or something at full load....

Ok I’m not great with this part of pc but from what I have heard NEVER take apart your PSU. In my opinion I would make sure the PSU fans are tightly screwed in And there’s no cables touching the fan. Also use a flash light to see inside it to double check!

no no no thats not what i meant . i would never take a psu a part , i meant like taking it out of the pc and checking out the fan and stuff and then putting it back in and plugging everything.

Money is tight right now and I was just trying to enjoy my 2 weeks left of vacation before entering med school and forgetting video games and everything. And some bad stuff happened made me lose some money. Just a really really  horrible day... 

Hopefully it'll get better tomorrow.

Stop the fan when you hear the noise and see if the noise stops as well.

 

I kind of doubt its actually coming from the fan.
