Fan is very loud.. what can I do?

What I did was open the case and take the guts out. I ported them to a case with a 120mm fan. I had to solder a bit and it was a pain in the butt. The PSU is decent here but it sounds like a jet engine. Mine had TWO 80mm fans. Insane. Now I have one decent, quiet PSU. Another option is to simply unplug one of the fans - unscrew the back and unplug the intake fan (facing the Mobo). You probably want to leave the exhaust fan intact.

See if bios has "quiet mode" option and turn it on. This may work or return it for a different one. Also check and see if your PC's software is in "performance mode". Change it to standard performance or power saving mode. Hope I helped

not much you can do about the noise besides replace this with a better one such as Corsair. But you are looking at more like $60-$100, BUT A GOOD psu IS THE BASE FOR ANY GOOD COMPUTER.

Sorry for the delayed answer. The fan is not at all loud. Definitely less noise than my full-sized HP.

This fan is way to loud for inside residential use. A filter helps a little with the noise, but it doesn`t come with one. It does exhaust air very well.

It is a bit noisy. I bought some rubber mounts and some insulation material to mount on the fan............I have not installed it yet but for sure the noise can be curtailed one way or the other........could also hang the fan and use short flex duct .......This size of fan with this much air movement is going to be noisy

i have the same problem as well, the fan is really noisy when in the mode of battery saving!

Forgot to mention, the case fan is quite loud so I would either replace it with a quiet one or get a simple fan speed controller. This is what i got.

It is more of a loud whine. People on all sides of my cubicle could hear it, even the ones that sit diagonal. Fan only worked for 2 hours. Might want t try something different.

the power supply fan is really loud after installing I've found, I think its a big drain on the PSU

I have no fan noise. My old HP fan sounded like a dying hard drive. The laptop heated up to painful levels. The biggest thing I notice about this is there is no sound, no heat. I wouldn't mind some heat this winter. :) Perhaps you can return that one and get a new one. I think you have a dud.

I am sorry but I can not help you as this fan would not work for me and I sent it back.

Sounds like it's overheating, I had attached a fan to mine and it worked great.

hello my friend, off course, the fan is a spare part, so, you can change it easy, just remember to buy a 120 mm fan. (sorry for my english, im studing it yet.)

I've had mine since February 2013 and can't say the fan is loud. I have had issues with it freezing up and having to reboot though.

I had the same issue and the solution I used was to leave the fan on all night... It is not very energy efficient but it works for me... you can schedule the fan independently from the A/C and this allows you to avoid the clicking sound during your "sleep" schedule

My fan was really loud at first. It has either gotten 'worn in' or I'm used to the sound. I don't even notice it anymore!
