Man... keep that fan blowing, and hard. If the fan is making machanical
noise, replace it. If you're not brave enough to slice the "warranty
void if removed... no user servicable parts inside..." sticker on the
PS, replace the entire power supply. If the noice is coming from the air
movement, make
What's worse, many cheap fans that claim to have ball bearings ACTUALLY
have brass bushings. I've ripped apart many a seized-up fan claiming to
have ball bearings only to find the same cheap-ass bushing.
Moral: Buy from a respectable dealer. Spend a few extra $$$ to get a good
fan.

No. Those fans just stir the air around inside the case, transferring heat
from the cpu etc to that air.

Here's my take on fans and dust and noise.
Having fans inside a computer case (such as those mounted on the CPU's
heat sink) lower the air pressure inside the case - Bernoulli's principle.
Having a fan blowing out further decreases the internal pressure.
Nature hates this pressure difference and th

Do that and you will be "cooling" your cpu and memory with hot air from the
power supply rather than cool air

never got round to using their stuff
but heard couple of good things
from a mate who has.

My power supply takes warm air from inside the PC case to cool itself.
As Athlon processors (especially >1000 MHz) tend to produce lots of
heat, the temperature-sensitive power supply fans turn faster and
faster, making lots of noise. (When I start the box, I don't hear it at
all, but 10 m
