if its a led fan check if its not totally smooth and looks like rippling water as that is a sign that the bearing is broke. If it is I would either replace that fan or rma the whole psu.

Well, its not the fan cuz when I turn the pc off, but leave the power cord in the psu, it buzzes, now it has always done this, but for some reason this seems to be a bit louder. I dunno, maby i'm just paranoid/loosing it/hearing things.

I tried turning off my computer to see if I could hear any sort of buzzing sound with my PSU. I had to practicly put my ear on it, but there was a slight buzz.

Yeah, mines is also slight, but I don't know how slight, everyones ears are different and how they interpret things are different. I guess my psu should be fine, I mean they back it up with a 5 year warrenty.
