Posted January 5, 2013 Author Well, i think it is time to find a new one, any good ideas for a good quiet and cheap 750 Watt PSU like a OCZ modxstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 5, 2013 If it's a motor sound its almost definitely the fan. Personally, I would replace it because it sounds like the fan is on it's last legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
