Rule number 1 in psu purchasing boys n gals. Buy a good psu. Do not cheap out on the heart of your system. Fun video my guy. Glad i stumbled across it.
Under that sticker on the fan, there is a plastic plug. Do you know if it is really necessary to have that? I lost mine when I should fix my fan. It flew away. So stupid, I know. Great video btw! :)
Where did you find your replacement fan ? My blue led fan in my PSU recently just stopped working (rest of power supply still works fine) So Im just trying to replace my fan with the same one but can find the same kind. 135mm blue led, but has 2 + 2 pin connectors and for some reason its so hard to find? Yours looks similar to mine
I might try that, seems like a long shot but I hope maybe they would sell me the same kind of fan Because I think the power supply I have is discontinued now or otherwise ill just have to replace the whole damn thing. @@MaxTechniche
Am I safe assume that since the computer I'm planning on doing this with hasn't been plugged in or turned on in a year and a half, there is no electricity in the capacitors?
@@MaxTechniche Thank you. I'll still use my electrical insulated screw drivers but it is reassuring that I'm less likely to get fried while doing this.
hitting the switch button 1 million times then leave it for 2 days for electricity to dissipate? lmao that's hilarious.... just hit the power button once and if nothing happens you're good to go
There are some BIG capacitors in PSUs. Generally they should discharge when powered off but if for some reason they don't, they can retain enough charge to give you a nasty shock for a day or more. Just because the unit doesn't have power to turn on doesn't mean there isn't any charge left in the caps.

Nice video ... replace it with noctua's for better fans lol
i was able to get an original fan for free

I contacted the PSU manufacturer because I think it was still under warranty

The camera's mic barely picked up the noise, but I'm here because mine is humming as well.
You should take advantage of the situation to replace with a noctua or be quiet fan, not with the same crap

If you know for a fact that it hasn't been plugged in, you are probably good. Obviously, you still need to be careful.

Any kind of fan
Have to ask my dude, this unit still running? Thank you.
It’s still usable. I don’t know if it’s currently inuse right now though. I believe it’s sitting in storage for backup.
@@MaxTechniche thanks for getting back to me. Kinda sounds like a "maybe"...
Why aren’t you using gloves if it’s so dangerous?
Btw you shouldn’t fastforward parts with wires, it can be hard to follow.
Gloves ain't going to save you it you touch a capacitor.
Thank you
I would also use a pair of gloves to avoid direct contact with my body.
Bro you have blue color fan in your psu?
Yes... Yes I do. 😏
So did the noise go now or is it still there?
It's only slightly better than what it was originally unfortunately.
I think I'm just gonna opt to not do this
what is the size of a fan bro?
I don’t remember. Either 120 or 140 mm
8 inch black

No, literally.. capacitors need to drain down. 30 Minutes is a ok time but 2 days is highly recommend if u want 0 risk
