[SOLVED] PSU fan running at 100% after 2 years

[ankido]

Hi,

As of a week ago my PSU which I found was the culprit is revving up to 100% most of the time. Sometimes it takes a break for a minute and goes back to running at 100% speed. Not sure what is causing this. I forgot what brand it is I want to guess Corsair. It's been two years with no issues and now the fan decides to run instead of walk.

What should I do after blowing air in it and that didn't fix the issue. Time to replace the PSU?

Note: The fan is at the bottom blowing air UP into the case.

I would have to dig inside the case to find out which. It's 2 years old. Now every time I turn it on the fan is at 100% and it scares me. I don't want to fry anything in my system. I'm not sure what's causing this. It sits up on a small office desk alone good airflow around it no smoke no nothing. Not sure why it would get a lot of dust if that was the case. I've tried airing it out and nothing.

This is what I see while my PSU fan is going haywire on idle.

No. The PSU fan is not blowing into the case. PSU fans suck air out of the case and exhaust out the back.

Please post your ENTIRE PC specs, including what case you're using, any additional RGB or lighting strips, etc.

60 db case noise? Where does this info even come from? LOL!

NZXT! I'm gonna be real with you guys. I banged the case. Banged on top of the PSU after it froze on me doing a 1hr and 30 minute podcast. Then I wiggled the power plug and yanked it out. Plugged it back in and now she's quite quiet. I'm so confused. Maybe I needed to beat it up?

Two people ask what psu you have (and jonnyguru want's to know all specs) and your response is "i beat the psu" where i guess you mean the pc and which you shouldn't do, not with a pc not with any other electrical device.

So again what psu? = maker+model+wattgae. And for jonnyguru what other parts as well?

That is NOT a 2 year old PSU!!!!!

That company went out of business over five years ago!!!

I purchased it 2 years ago from Best Buy. I guess I made a mistake??? What do you think is a good PSU for my rig? I love my baby and I want her to right good.

Everyone has a max budget, maybe tell us?

PC Partpicker says I need 404watt PSU. I've been all over the internet and not sure what PSU to get. My range is under $200. Any suggestions?

The URL says Platinum, but when I click on it, a Focus Gold shows up.

$144.99 seems over priced. That PSU should be around $120 or so. Maybe because it's not "sold by Amazon"

You really looking for 80 PLUS Platinum or did the URL trick you too?
