I have been noticing that after my rig shuts off for a minute the PSU starts doing some constant squealing and then eventually goes away.
Is that normal?

You sure are having a lot of problems with this off-the-shelf rig.

The squealing is probably related to the PSU fan. I imagine the PSU has a soft-off for the fan that keeps it running for half a minute after the PC is shut down, and it's getting dirty voltage. I wouldn't worry about it.

Its corsair tx750
If it was a capacitor whine then I would be hearing it when the rig is on
