Hi everyone!
I have had really nice [well, at least I thought it was real nice] PSU that suddenly began to make really loud noises [roaring now vs. super silent before].
The unit is an Ultra Infinity DR 600 Watt PSU [ULT-xf600]. It has two fans, one that sucks in the air from the computer case, and the other fan blows out the rear of the computer. Both fans appear to be 80mm.
When I went to Ultra's website, it appears as if this unit is no longer under warranty.
Is there anything I can do to fix or remedy this howling monster?
I thought it would be quite easy to merely install a new 80mm fan. Someone told me it is dangerous to open a PSU and work on it if I have never done so before...
Could someone here please give me a little more insight into my options?
I would appreciate any good advice.
Thanks,
Soar
