I uncovered the grill and found that it's imposible to oil the bearings without taking the whole fan out and breaking the warranty sticker. I've had the same issue with my fan, it started clicking after first use. I think it's gone away for the most part after pushing and moving it around gently wit...

I've just bought the same Enermax PSU you're having problems with - it's still in the box, I'm still mulling over whether to fit it with the stock fan (and almost inevitably have to pull it out again to swap the fan), or just swap the fan straight away. I was very satisfied with the outright inaudi...

I remember that post. I allready looked inside with a flashlight and poked it with a straw to check. Tomorow I'll take it out and put in my old dual fan 300W Tagan (praying it would not give up ghost under strain). I'll take a closer look inside, maybe I could even open it without breaking the warra...

Anyway to answer your broader question my experience with out-of-the-box "quiet" PSUs has been distinctly average, even those which get good reviews here. Seasonic, Corsair, whatever, they've never really lived up to expectations, almost invariably due to the quality of the fan. Unfortunately that'...

Well, first off are you totally sure it's the PSU fan causing the problem - have you tried stopping the PSU fan by sticking something (non-conductive!) through the grill to stop it? It's depressingly easy to mis-attribute where such sounds are coming from especially if you have several fans in your...

Let me refrase my question. I have 2 disks and 3 fans in my system ( 2 x fander 80mm, 1 x scythe 120mm) which run about 800 rpm each, and still the enermax psu is the loudest thing in my PC. Ticking fan is just much more audible than low broadband noise. I'm looking for a quiet PSU which will not st...

enermax modu 82+ noisy fan

Hello, this is is my first post here. Few months ago, impressed by SPCR review, I bought an Enermax Modu 82+ 425W PSU. It had been working very good, inaudible, 500-600 rpm all the time, until recently. Now it works fine for an hour or two after power on, then it starts to make faint clicking and ch...
