Corsair TX 850M 80plus has been making clicking sounds about a week ago. It has run smoothly for 10 months without any issues, staying in the same position and setup. Nothing has changed that would cause this noise.
What’s happening with my PSU? Can I safely keep running my PC until I can get a replacement?

EDIT
My PC performance has dropped significantly. I’m getting only half of my usual FPS, GPU usage is barely above 50%, and drawing half the normal power. CPU usage is down and using just 15 watts. The clicking sounds have stopped. My performance usually returns to normal for 5-10 seconds. This seems linked to the GPU reaching 80% usage and drawing more power, while CPU usage spikes too.
I’m really confused about what’s going on—could this be a power issue in my home?

Corsair represents the PSU, with 850 indicating its advertised wattage and the 'M' denoting a modular design. Which model is being used?
