I recently bought an Acer XC-605. It's a slim form factor desktop PC. I picked it up at a bargain price from an office that was having a clear out.

The PSU fan seems to be really loud...making a distinct whirring noise as it spins faster and then slows down and does this constantly...is there anyway I can replace with a quieter one?

Because it's a very small case the current PSU is a very specific size and shape...it measures 90mm wide x 53mm tall x 200mm long. Its model number is FSP220-50SBV. Picture below...

Any idea what I can do about the noise issue?

thanks!

It sounds like there is a loose wire in there that the fan is hitting. Try opening the PSU to check if anything is touching the fan. If nothing try cleaning the fan with a vacuum cleaner. Be very careful with the vacuum cleaner and watch out for static. If nothing works buy a new fan with the same size.
