It May or May not be bearing noise. for help, search something like "psu mods"... maybe a fan swap might help? just be careful...allso, if you dont like hearing your computer, you may try SPCR, they are all about NOT hearing things from your PC...

Me, personally, I would RMA it if you just got it...I have had this happen a few times...and within a few weeks the PSU was dead because one of the fans had died...

Agree with glock. If there is something wrong wit the PSU, and it's new, RMA it before it's too late or you lose something else with it.

Either way...it needs to be RMAed...and if it is a cap...then it defintely needs to be RMAed before it litterly catches on fire...

My Raidmax 450W PSU was the same way...it took about 30 mintues to get it out...and once it was out...it went back in rather easily and easily pulled back out...

if it went into the case...then it will eventually come out
