Hi all, hoping someone will be able to shed a little light.

I have a PCSpecialist desktop PC, which is under a year old. For many months now there has been this intermittent whirring / whining noise which has been getting more frequent. I emailed PCSpecialist about the issue and they suggested to put my finger on the middle of the fans to stop them and see if one of them was the cause. I tried the CPU fan, Back case fan and the 2 smaller Graphic card fans, but it wasn't any of those. I had another close-up listen and it sounds like it possibly could be from the Corsair CV450 PSU, but I'm not 100%. Just wondered if you guys could have a little listen to the video and let me know what you think. Thanks

Sounds do seem similar, might be fan bearing. Best thing to do is to either just rma at the shop you talk about or create a support ticket at Corsair and talk with them about it. If they at Corsiar agree with you can you still contact the shop and rma.
