Just about every 120mm fan PSU I have purchased in the last 10 years ..ticks. Its mostly not a big deal as it's very minor most of the time. However, i am tying to build a quiet machine for a specific purpose and the PSU i want to use .. ticks a little too much. So i replaced it's fan. the new fan.. ticks exactly the same as before. Took the new fan out and listened to it on its own. No ticking. Put it back in.. ticks. Take it out and put in another fan (that also does not tick outside of the PSU) and it.. ticks.. lol
Could it be the little plastic "air guide" that screws onto the fan? I put it back in each time. The blades aren't hitting anything. It ticks the same (in the PSU) regardless of whether it is in the horizontal or vertical orientation..
