Hey Guys 

Woke Up this morning and I turned on my PC to hear a weird whining noise at first I thought it was my Hard Drive

but upon further inspection (sticking my head closer to the computer) I found it was my power supply,the build is only 5 months 

old and I have never had any issues before at around Christmas time I upgraded it to a GTX1060-3GB and it’s been fine Intill today. 

 

my best bet is the heat, due to our A/C breaking and me living in Australia with multiple 35 to 37 degree days (celsius not Fahrenheit) the computer has been running at around 82 degrees for 2 days now.

 

My Power Supply is a : 500w thermaltake TT-500NL2NK-A 

 

Edit : Now that I think about it it’s more of a scraping

 

 

That's probably your fan dying.

 

Your PSU is crap anyways. Time to upgrade my friend. A Corsair CX450 should be fine for you.

Your fan is dying, plus that PSU is kinda crappy

A CX450/CX450M/Be Quiet Pure Power 10/Pure Power 11 will do.
