Morning all.
Been trying to track down the cause of my louder than it should be PC.
I always thought it was my ddc pump causing vibration on the case (even although I have it on rubber feet etc). Turned case fans off, turned radiator fans off, still loud. Never occurred to me to check the PSU.
So last night, finally tracked down the loudness to my PSU. Fans seem to be running at full pelt constantly, which also leads to a bit of case vibration.
It's an XFX 650 core edition. Really can't remember when I got it, but must be over 5 years at least.
Is there any way to check the fan speed for a PSU?
I know the inevitable answer is - get a new PSU :)
 
Thanks.
Think I'll go with antec. Had good reviews and don't mind a few fixed cables, be using those ones anyway and can get them round back of the case
 
Gah, sorry to keep posting, reading reviews etc
I'm torn between 2 psu
Antec eag650 gold pro
Corsair rmx750 (which is on offer)

Can't find anything about fan orientation, but did see something on Tom's suggesting the corsair shouldn't be upside down? So in my case it would be pulling air from inside case rather than bottom/outside?
