That PSU isn't very good.

It goes out of spec. And you don't have to cross load it to make that happen. The 5V rail on it is very bad.

Now is a horrible time to buy a PSU. Due to Covid there haven't been any/many shipments of parts and everything is either out of stock or super expensive. To be honest if you have a half way decent PSU with just a fan issue I'd see about replacing the fan. That involves opening the PSU so that's not something I suggest anyone attempt unless you really know what you are doing. Touch the wrong thing in there and you get an unhealthy zap of electricity. The PSU you have now isn't great, but at least it stays in spec while using it. The one you linked isn't an upgrade.

oh ok well i opened it then closed it and somehow it fixed it but if it does happen again i stole a fan from my dead psu so i can swap it if needed

Cooler Master MWE V2 Bronze would be better :

Or even Antec Neo Eco Zen for slightly out of budget :
