Hello, i noticed since some time my pretty new rtx 2060 is making this weird noise (hear in video).
It appears under higher usage/games, in Task manager it reaches about 85° Celsius with like 30% usage. It has 2 Fans which are facing down.
Can Somenone help me or knows what this could be?

You have post on a tech forum asking for help but other than you have an RTX 2060 you have provided zero information about your computer or it`s hardware, this makes it impossible for anyone to even hazard a guess as to what is going on.

Provide information about your computer, is it a custom build or brand name such as Dell or HP, if a brand name, provide the model name or series number (not serial) if a custom build post the brand and model name or number for the CPU, MB, the RAM (including the amount) add on video card if one is used and the PSU (power supply unit) providing these details will enable folk to better help you.

Hello, sorry for not providing much information. My PC is custom built. It has a AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, The Motherboard is the ASUS TUF B450-PLUS GAMING, a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 12GB, 2 RAM Sticks both 8GB 2666MHz DDR4 (Crucial CT8G4DFS8266 and CT8G4DFRA266), the PSU would be the 57361/CSL18059 (500 Watt). Nothing is Overclocked. Thanks for the response.

That piece of junk is killing your GPU and the noise that you hear is the GPU grumbling that it is not getting enough power to be able to function properly and there is one thing that is possibly worse than using a known poor quality brand of PSU and that is using one that is unheard of, for brands of PSU to trust and brands to avoid please refer to the links in my sig, the present PSU is so bad that it is not even 80+ efficiency rated and there is no specification label on any of the same PSU that I am finding online, you will be lucky if the PSU can even produce 400W.

Is your GPU a stock Nvidea card or is a third party such as EVGA, Gigabyte or MSI etc, this is important as they do not all have the same power requirements.

You are welcome btw :)

Sorry but that is only what the GPU is estimated to draw and even the most basic of 12GB RTX 2060 that Gigabyte make requires that the computer be powered by a minimum of a 550W PSU, you can confirm this for yourself here any PSU must be at least 550W, Gold efficiency rated. have a seven or ten year warranty and be a proven brand such as Corsair, EVGA or Seasonic.

So is it not supplying enough power or is it just a bad PSU?

Both and best thing you can do with it is cut the cables off it so it cannot be used then toss it in the trash, just hope that it has not hosed your GPU already.

Best value I could find + gives you a bit more power than you actually need which is good, EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G5 with ten year warranty.

As is always suggested, before making any purchase get the GPU tested in case the weak PSU has already damaged it.
