    Question Found a cheap unused cooler master silent hybrid pro 1300W - but the remote is missing

    Question CPU cooling fan makes rattling or grinding noise

    The cooler has dust. I removed the case fan prior, it's not making noise, i also opened the case to make out if its the PSU, and its the CPU cooler fan. It has been making this noise more than a year. Do I need to take the whole thing apart and reapply thermal paste (also vaguely remember...
