REPAIR UR NOISY FAN

it generally comes frm the aging fans on the cabinet, the best way would be to replace them wid new ones...they cost abt 80 bucks !

SMPS fan is one which is in ur power supply ....open one side of ur cabinet and check frm where the noise is emerging....also d/l speed fan to control fan speed ....if its not smps fan...if it is ..u have to clean smps fan

clean da fan or buy a new one

Remove connection of all other fans and start the machine...in this way you can easily check whether the SMPS fan is the culprit. If it is not, simply reconnect other fans one by one and repeat.

^^ Yes. Check them one by one and clean them and if they are too old then better change them, they are very cheap...
