Question My power supply is buzzing while gaming. Concerned and need advice

[Nebulardood23]

I've asked around for the past few days on many sites, but I've gotten conflicting info. Some say they can't hear it, others say just replace the PSU, but before I jump the gun I want to make sure it's not something harmless like coil whine.

Had this PSU for a little under a month and I just installed it into a new build. Under heavy gaming it will make a noisy buzzing/humming sound. It's not a big deal since you have to literally put your ear up to it to hear it, but I'm a little worried. It's an MSI A650GL.

Clips of it are on my reddit post here

Ryzen 5 5600x
Contac Silent 12
B550-A-Pro
32GB ddr4
500gb SSD and 4tb HDD
Zotac RTX 3060 12gb OC edition
MSI A650GL
HAF 932 Advanced(It's an old one, but it works fine.)
Windows 11 Home

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

You might want to take a sheet of A4 paper, roll it into a cylinder and hold one end to your ear while the other end is used to probe for the source of the sound.

It's not a big deal since you have to literally put your ear up to it to hear it, but I'm a little worried. It's an MSI A650GL.
How far do you sit from the system?

The tower is to my left, not to far but enough to wear I can hear the fans a little. Even if I walk past the case I can't hear it directly.

Also oops forgot to list my parts lol. Fixed.
