I was gaming this morning and noticed a chirping/squeaking noise from the back of my pc. I opened the back to check more into it and the noise is isolated to the psu. Has anyone else had this issue? Wanna check before I rma this unit. Did a restart and it comes and goes as it please with the noise.
 
Thanks in advance.

Do you think it is the fan or some sort of "alarm" ?

I'm going to say fan from what I have heard with putting my ear to it, its currently not doing it as of now. I would hate to rma it and they not be able to have it do it for them then we are at a stand still cause its not doing it for the techs

Non conductive item - like a wooden or plastic dowel - held against the "point of interest" & against your ear can help you hear
 
change the ECO switch position - to stop / start fan
 
run a benchmark to load system consistently
 
You have ruled-out the MB fans & case fans ?

Will run the benchmark now and change the eco switch at the same time, the case is a tower 900, the fans for the rads are facing out not even in the chamber if that makes sense to you with the psu, it has started the noise again so lets see what it does with the test.

You should be able to stop different things till you find it

Your PSU has a "Double Ball Bearing fan for exceptional reliability and quiet operation" and an "Unbeatable EVGA 10 Year Warranty and unparalleled EVGA Customer Support"
 
With your PC turned off, use something to stick through the fan grill to push on the fan hub a few times to reseat the bearings..If that don't fix it or if the noise returns later, RMA it.

Chirping can be a sign that a capacitor is failing in the PSU. If you can, try to get a recording of the noise and e-mail it to support@evga.com so we can listen and advise further on if it sounds abnormal or not.
