| 764236 | 2009-04-12 08:23:00 | What size is the fan? If it's 120mm I have a quieter SilenX I can give you. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||

| 764239 | 2009-04-12 09:03:00 | The only option I see here is to lower the fan speed in the BIOS. If that doesn't fix it-find out which fan is the main cause, and get your wallet out...:p Or maybe noise reduction case? |

| 764241 | 2009-04-12 10:04:00 | It IS the PSU fan 80mm. I took the case side off With the comp shut down. Held the PSU fan stopped & switched on. The CPU fan is 70?mm. Silence Cooler Master brand. It is quiet. When I let the PSU fan run, Maryann said that was the one. So now i have to replace it sometime. Re Gaz 120mm fan I dont thinhk this will fit, but thanks anyway. PJ |

| 764242 | 2009-04-12 10:17:00 | www.driverheaven.net Get your local tech to replace the PSU fan pconlineshop.co.nz Qaz may be able to direct you to more silent 80mm fans, but from reviews I've heard the ZM-F1 is very quiet, but isn't very good at keeping temperatures low...might be a slight problem.

Blam I am sure I can change the PSU fan when the time comes. In fact I think there is an old one out in the shed. Tomorrow!!! PJ The "Local Tech" is not going to be available for a few months!! PJ |

| 764244 | 2009-04-12 12:05:00 | what exactly does the fan sound like? if its a clicking type sound there may be a wire caught in the blades, buzzing could be a thin bit of paper, zip tie or similar in there rumbling or vibration type sound could mean its out of true dodgey bearings from manufacture or a blade is off |

PJ The "Local Tech" is not going to be available for a few months!! PJ The fan connection will probably not be that of a standard 80mm case fan. I wouldn't recommend playing around is the PSU if you don't know what your doing, as some of the components in there retain a potentially lethal charge after the system is unplugged. If you do be careful. |
