I've been experiencing crashes with my PC while playing CPU-heavy games, accompanied by a strange noise. Here are my specs: Windows 11, Ryzen 9600X CPU, 9070 XT GPU, and 32 GB DDR5 RAM. I've noticed that during these games, my CPU temperature can climb to about 85-88 degrees, which I've read is within acceptable limits. Could it be a problem with my power supply, or is it something else? I've also shared a video where you can hear the noise I'm talking about.

It sounds like you might be dealing with a failing fan. Have you checked if the noise is coming specifically from the power supply or elsewhere? If it’s from a fan, it could be something as simple as needing a clean or a replacement.
First off, do you know what kind of power supply unit (PSU) you have? The PSU can sometimes cause issues like this if it's underpowered or failing. Knowing the model can help troubleshoot further!

I've tried to listen closely to locate the sound but couldn't pinpoint the exact source. It seems like it's coming from around the lower part of the case.
