Hey guys,i really dont know how to describe my problem actually so this might be long.My Corsair CX650 makes a disturbing noise,but not really a fan noise but a humming like vibration noise?? I have a cheap case,i am thinking that might be the reason for this.But the strange thing is sometimes the noise just stops.Usually when i left the pc alone,but sometimes even when i am in the middle of a 3-4 hour gaming session.I really wanna understand the reason why noise goes away (maybe if i understand why, i can make it work without the noise all together.) As far as i know this psu doesnt have a clever fan system that will make it slower in idle and as i mentioned this happening during gaming pretty much eliminates this answer.So if anybody can help me find an answer,and maybe give some tips to make that humming noise go away i will really appreciate.Thank u!

List your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

Then include a video with the audio in it to rule out that the noise you speak of is coming from the PSU itself. It'll also help us understand what you're hearing. Words can only say so much until you rely on other means to verify the situation.
 
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 at stock
Motherboard: MSI B450m Gaming Plus
Ram:16 gb ram
SSD/HDD: 250 gb SSD/1 TB HDD
GPU: RX 580 8gb
PSU:Corsair cx650
Chassis: No idea what brand it is.
OS: Windows 10
I opened up my case when it was at "silent mode" and confirmed the sound was coming from PSU.(I can start the sound anytime i want by opening HWmonitor,weird right) Tried uploading an audio file but failed,but the only sound u will hear would be fans even if i could upload.Sorry for not being able to give more info..
