CX 750 fan is making a clicking noise

thdarkshadow · Feb 3, 2014

I have the cx750 PSU and lately it's fan has been making a clicking noise like it is off balance and since my PC is on top of my desk right beside me it is loud and gets annoying. Any ideas for fixes or should I just deal with it till I can get a new PSU?
BTW I know it isn't that great of a PSU I bought it before I knew anything about power supplies

Try tightening the screws around the fan (WITH the power off and disconnected) and then test if it will make that noise again.

If it does make noise still then buying a new PSU will be the best choice.

if you are sure its the PSU, my guess would be that the fan is skimming against something, shut off the computer and give it a good wiggle. Otherwise, if its possible for you to open the PSU (if you have a warranty don't do this) and adjust the fan then do that.

Most likely , fan\ bearing issue.

I tried tightening the screws but they were already firmly in place. Thanks for the thoughts. I'll pick up a new PSU next time I get the chance. I was thinking xfx xxx 750w so I would have plenty of power for most any upgrades in the future
