When my pc is under load for long periods, my psu starts doing weird noises. It's not a fan noise, it's more of an annoying electrical noise. My psu is the TX750M

if it annoys you, you'll have to replace it, unfortunately you can't solve it unless you resolder new components onto the board. 

 

if it really bothers you, buy a new one

 

also like people above said, it is called coil whine.

Maybe. Depends. Some manufacturers will take it back. Others wont. I find Corsair's support Legendary. I was say try it.

Problem is that I bought it from amazon.com and I am from Australia. What would be a good PSU which has low chance of having coil whine? I found a cheap 850X supernova Gold, is it good? are bequiet! psus good?

Any electrical component could/might have coil whine.
