Corsair 650M PSU - Very loud fan, fortnight old.
Amazon Link HERE!
Bought this new just over a fortnight ago It's been running great but because of my recent problems the noise is running me paranoid as hell (too many recent desktop problems). I've had a search around but found little information about the fan, most of the problems seem to be static and rattling noises where as this fan sounds like a little washing machine.
The problem is not consistent nor is it in any specific pattern happens when the computer is idle, sometimes when just browsing the net, haven't been running any heavy stuff either, mostly WMP and some Netflix.
I'm just wondering if it's putting itself under stress or the rest of my computer in harm. I'm not overly worried about the fan noise if it isn't going to be a problem. If I am in risk I'll have to get it replaced ASAP.
Few things to note.
1. The times it gets this noisy is completely random.
2. A simple restart quiets the fan down to a normal level.
3. It's happened when the computer is idle and no background apps open other than Windows 7 processes etc.
4. The video doesn't capture the loudness or the sound all that well, I tried to get best I could.
