Hey guys,
I've got a TX650 (v1 I think) in my PC, the PSU is running fine but the fan is occasionally ticking: It will run normally for hours, then without warning with begin to audibly tick/click for 10 seconds to a minute then stop again. It's still under warranty but having my PC out of action for 3 weeks + is not ideal for me.
I've been thinking of simply replacing the fan for another 140mm one such as:http://www.scan.co.uk/products/140m...nt-fan-hdb-bearing-pwm-with-s-flow-blades-oem . I've read online that the fan uses a two pin connector, could I simply just the old fan and scotch lock this new fan to the old wires? I'm too handy with a soldering iron, If I cant do that I could always run the power connector out of the psu and run it from a molex or something.
Will this work or am I asking for trouble? Im aware that I need to discharge the PSU completey, how can I do this?
Thanks in advance.
