[SOLVED] Is my PSU dying?

[Pomfrit]

Whenever i turn on my pc the psu fan sounds like its hitting something, but after the pc is running for like 5minutes , the spunds disappears..:/ can any1 help me with this problem?
Also the temperatures are NOT high or anything they seem to be perfect. SRRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH.

that sound should be from low quality fan, they cheapout on some cheap oil which can dry up or get dusty, which can make annoing noise and eventualy make fan stop working

I cleaned it yesterday when i first heard the sound and when i turned on my pc the sound stopped and i thought i fixed it.. but today it started again, but only at the start up... the temperatures still seem to be good... so what should i do.. ?

its good but i dont recommend it as i highly doubt whether u wud need a 1000 wattage PSU... post of complete pc specs to determine the appropriate wattage needed for ur system...

3.3V and 5V are barely used now
whole PC runs on 12V rails
your two 12v rails have written on it 380watts (when it was new)
but usualy people run PSU at ~50% load
