Watts has very little to do with the rating of a fan (and certainly not a figure anywhere close to 500!). What's important is diameter, speed, and number of terminals on the fan cable. The speed of the fan in rpm should be on the fan label. The diameter is the distance across the blades in millimeters and will be a figure such as 80mm, 90mm, 120mm, etc. Most fans have three or four terminals on the cable that comes out of the fan.
Hi Lady Fitzgerald
Thanks.
I know.
Bad habit of mine, as not able to focus correctly, most of the time.
...It's also a good Idea to take a couple of picture of where the fan is connected to the mother board so you don't forget :)
Pictures make it easier to remember :)

I have ADHD so I know where you are coming from on focusing.

It happen about 14 years ago, terrible.
Still on medication, long term as doctor did not want to answer.
And poor &or slow in proper response.
I got a pretty good PC (tower) from a friend and I want to make it my main pc.
When I got it the case fans were incredibly loud so I got a couple $10 coolermaster case fans.
I bought 2 because it had 2. Seemed like overkill but it's a got a big ol' ATI radeon video card so I fig'd the more air...
I have an AMD Phenom II x4 955 cpu with the factory mounted fan on top. Have noticed lately that a pronounced noise (squeal) from the fan when viewing various sites with my browser. The fan speed adjusts with the content as expected. Now it is running @ 3900 rpm while typing this, but if I...
I have Thermaltake Toughpower 800W PSU! Its fan makes really loud noise when playing PC games! I tried to oil the fan like I did with my CPU fan, but I could not get to PSU fan without opening the PSU itself! Should I open it? Or maybe there is another way to fix this!
My computer has started to make a bit of noise...it sounds like a faint hum, or constant drone, kind of like a fan noise. I checked the intake, exhaust and cpu fans by stopping them spinning and the noise is still there. It sounds like its coming from my PSU. Does that mean its on its way out?
I...
My PSU just started making a noise, like if something's touching the fan. It's a different computer from the one in my specs. It's a sturdy black one, however this PC has no case and the PSU is positioned in a way that the fan is on top and sucks in air, so a lot of dust goes in. Since September it...
