Power Supply With Long Lasting Fan

I bought my first real pc maybe 4 years ago now. After one year the fan on the psu started rattling like crazy so i soon swapped it out for my xfx xtr 650w. This is supposed to be a pretty good unit but once again the fan has failed after about a year. I just want a psu that wont give me any headaches with the fan again. I need 600w+ and would prefer modular but its not completely necessary i just want it to be cheap as possible while still being a good unit of course.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Can't you claim warranty?

I never had PSU fans fail on me, I blew power supplies before killing its fans. Sounds like you just had a lemon.

That's not normal.

 

How did the XFX fan fail?  Same thing?  Rattling?

 

That might be because they used that 11 blade design.  The blades are smaller so more susceptible to damage.

 

A PSU fan really only needs 7 fan blades with enough of a curve in the blade to provide adequate static pressure.

Yes the same rattling noise as the first psu. Last night it started squealing every now and again so maybe it’s the bearing? I may just change the fan to a new one as it doesn’t seem to be too difficult and I don’t want to mess around with any warranty anyway.
