Corsair TX850 V2 fan noise

[Hemanse]

Bought a used pc recently as a secondary one, its working just fine. It came with a TX850W V2 PSU from Corsair and i have noticed that when the fan spin up its seems to be extremely noisy, wondering if anyone in here have any experience with that particular model? I know its not a high end PSU by any means, it is still rated pretty okay on the psu tier list tho. Did a few searches and it seems like it might just be a noisy PSU under load. The entire pc was very clean when i got it and the PSU looked like it was pretty much new.

Just ignore it, that usually fixes problems, like sleep paralysis.

verify it

make all the fans run and stick your ears all over it and see if you can hear it from the psu itself

It is the PSU 100%, guess i could write Corsair and ask them, it does have a 5 year warranty.

It's a good unit, seasonic made, so you either get corsair to replace the fan or do it yourself, it's easy. My TX650 V2 has a Fractal Design fan inside (140mm) and you can swich it if you want

Okay, never replaced a fan in a PSU myself before, im guessing it requires some cutting and soldering?

No, it's easy as hell, but you will lose warranty if you do that (if you have one) as you have to break the sealing sticker

Oh, gonna ask on the Corsair forum to start with, but if its that easy i might just do it myself. You can just plug a fan in? I remember back in the days when you had to replace a fan in a PSU you had to cut and solder things on.

As far as I recall it's just a regular fan with a regular connector

It's a two pin fan connector so you'll need an adapter like this if you want to change the fan, just note the regular safety stuff where you should unplug the unit and let it sit for at least 30-60 mins before opening and to mind the contacts on the large capacitors and to not touch them.
