One of our older computers has all of a sudden developed what seems to be a pretty bad fan issue on the PSU. It is constantly making a lot of noise, and the speed at which it rotates fluctuates greatly... to the point where you can see each individual fan blade spinning slowly.

My question is, do you think this is an issue where the fan itself is dying, or do you think the whole PSU could be failing on me. A lot of the way it sounds reminds me of something that just isn't getting enough power anymore, but the computer itself is still running at the moment.

It is also an old AT case and power supply, so if the whole PSU needs to be replaced, I would be more likely to just scrap the whole thing and switch over to ATX. Thanks for the help.

Just change the fan, it's pretty simple. 80mm

I agree. You should change the fan as soon as possible since the fan on PSU also help cooling the system.
