A few weeks after switching out my TX650M for a AX760 my heatsink (Hyper 212 Evo) has been acting up. Occasionally (read:not very often) after starting up my computer it will either spin very slowly or not spin at all. I need to manually spin it a couple times for it to spin properly. It also is a lot louder than it was before it started malfunctioning. I have already tried switching the outlet which my computer is plugged into to see if that fixed it. I don't believe it made any difference. I don't remember if it happens less. I can test that if anyone believes that might be the cause.

I'm hoping I didn't somehow fudge up my mobo while switching out my PSUs as I made sure I was grounded while doing it. Everything else in my computer is working well.

I don't have another heatsink available to test it out. Does anyone know where I can buy an extra fan for my heatsink? I live in Canada.
