Loud psu fan

[hayse]

i bought this psu and have been using it for a while now. i was wondering if there is a way to make the fan spin slower or any way to make it be more silent overall. this is the only fan in my build i can hear from about 10 feet away

whoa, I think you have a faulty fan/psu. i have two of those babies, (albeit one 650w and one 850w) and I never heard them in my life...

I have a TX750m and have the same problem. It makes a horrible clicking sound and the only way to solve it is replace the fan which will void the warranty.

You have three options. Live with it. RMA it. Replace the fan.

It could be due to high temperatures in the case.

ive had it about 6 months now so i assume its past the RMA period.

i wouldnt think its high temps because everything else runs coo and there is plenty of air flow.

 

 

i tried flipping it from fan down to fan up it didnt help.

corsair warranty coveres that I think, try and find out. I hope your retailer is reasonable and doesn't accuse you of breaking the product yourself.

As long as you have a warranty you can RMA something (to whoever the gives the warranty (in this case Corsair offers a 5 year warranty)).

you can go on there and disconnect the original fan connection and connect it between the +12v rail and the 5v+ rail ... that would give your fan 7 volts ... if it is you gave rma still or anything like that ... do that first . another option is to use a more quiet fan or solder a resistor on the +ve wire to the fan.

If you do that you will WOID your WARRANTY
