Loud noise during gaming

[Socloseagain]

Um sry if this is the wrong section I just didnt know where else to post this issue I'm having. So there is a loud noise coming from the PC during gaming but I'm not sure from where exactly.. I even removed one side of the case to try and locate where is the noise coming from but I just cant 😀. Sorry if this is so weird but is there any way I can somehow be 100% sure which part of my computer is making this noise? To elevate a little, it's not always, but when some cooler is "cooling" I guess.. Is it the PSU fan? Cpu cooler fan? Gpu fans? 😀 I can post the parts if required. Thanks for your time!

If you are having issues with not being able to get anything tier 1-3 locally then Amazon has a wide selection. Seasonic is a good brand to look at.

Yea, but I'm afraid that shipping to my country is going to be expensive as hell :S.

That's fine. Every country is different when it comes to hardware.

Do it this way: Go to wherever you can get parts (big box stores, local shops, local websites) and write down what is available: the PSU maker's make (EVGA, Corsair, etc) and model name (CX, SmartSeries, etc). Then check these against the tier list and choose whatever one is the highest up. As far as wattage goes don't go below 550W and 600W is recommended for safety. It's worth it to get the highest quality PSU.

Ok so I've been thinking/testing a little bit. Could it be possible that only the fan is malfunctioning by any chance? I just played some Fortnite for some time and the "issue" remains the same: loud noise from the PSU occasionally from time to time (not all the time). And also during all that time hwmonitor was running in the background to track the temperatures of my components of the PC and they were all good as usual. Bear in mind I'm not an expert and there may be some "obvious" stuff that I'm missing so I'm reaching out for help here guys. Thanks again!

Then open the PC case and disconnect all fans except the CPU fan and then boot up. If the issue is still there then it's the PSU fan or CPU fan. Fan noise comes and goes. Blowing both PSU and CPU fan it out with compressed air may help. If it's the PSU fan you need to replace the entire unit.
