what do you mean bad bearing?is there any problem with the fan?i mean i HAVE to replace it or i can just leave it like that ? the sound is only noticable when you put your ear on the back of the psu..i didnt see any sparks btw..its top mounted if that helps..

It shouldn't be making that noise , RMA it to Corsair.

I have a CX500 in my Mothers DELL 960 and it's very quiet.

It's a FAN \ Bearing noise \ it's basically a new unit , you deserve a new one , RMA it.

It may or may not get worse.

I would RMA it , to protect my other components , but that's up to you.
