After checking my PC for additional noise sources, I realized the sound I thought came from the power supply was actually coming from the GPU. This happens when powering up heavily, like during overclocking or rate limiting. It’s normal under those conditions. If it continues, I have a GTX 970 available until I can upgrade to an RTX 3060. The specifications were noted earlier, but I assumed silence meant no issue. I wanted to highlight this to prevent any confusion or wasted time. Edited October 31, 2022 by GorujoCY
