Post subject: | my pc is making an annoying noise |
so much for the technical mumbojumbo On a more serious note: i believe it's the fan of my power supply that making the kinda grinding noises. Any pointers on what to do now? I was thinking about replacing the fan, not sure if i will find an identical or what other fans are out there that can replace it. It's a 120mm Yate Loon D12SM-12 Case Fan for what's worth it. Downside of my plan that i'm seeing at this point is that the fan seems soldered, not sure if another fan will be easy to put it. I actually openend up my pc box, and took out the power supply, that was a first. I had an old pc here as well, but it has a much smaller fan, so that plan didn't work either. Switching both power supplies probably isn't a good idea either (cooling-wise). I'm open for suggestions. Keep in mind that i'm not much of a tech-guy though. |

Wow, the prices on that webshop are just awful. There should be some cheaper variants of 400W+ by known manufacturers like Corsair or Chieftect. I'm currently using Modecom 500ish and its nice and quiet. You shouldnt pay above 25€ for a 400w psu. |

Well i just tried finding some to compare, i'll probably check the local computer shops around here on monday and i'm going to check with our IT guy at school if he hasn't a spare psu or fan lying around. He always has tons of materials it seems, 120 mm fan should be enough to see if that's the only problem. Btw if i'm going from 350 W to 400 W, are there things i should consider (dunno, more heating of other things? or i imagine they only take what they need) |
