okay, my psu makes a clicking, chirping? sorta noise it isn't something hitting the fan and i'm wondering what i should do to try and fix this

Probably normal.

 

What PSU?  IS it only at low loads?  High loads?  In standby?  All of the time?

It's a cheaper brand, Gamemax its a 750w and will make the noise occasionally when it is under a low load like watching yt or whatever, and will make it quite often when under a heavy load like when i'm playing games

 

Send it back and get a not-so-cheap PSU?

That's unfortunate.

 

What's the rest of your specs?

Oh yeah.. You're using a 2060 with a double forward PSU.  That's going to be a noise factory.  You need a better PSU.

I'm in the states, heres a link https://www.newegg.com/msi-mpg-a850gf-850w/p/N82E16817701009?Item=N82E16817701009&Description=850w power supply&cm_re=850w_power supply-_-17-701-009-_-Product

 

Ok. Well.. Nobody knows anything about any random MSI power supply.  And you definitely don't need 850W.

 

I mean, for less money you can get a Corsair RM750 or RM750x or a Seasonic Focus GX750.  All known good units.

I almost scooped an RM750. In that range it all comes down to nit picking.. they are pretty solid. And it was a really good deal.. I almost should have takin it. My kids rig will need one soon, it’s aging like the rest of us.

 

I wonder if a power supply’s lifetime rating is similar to a dogs

 

Seems like it
