DarkDog is surprised December is here.

fix my PC (read all 4 entries…)
My PC 5 months ago

suddenly started making obscene noises. It looks to be one of the fans, so I just ordered a new power supply and a new CPU fan. I hope the actual exchange won’t be too time consuming…

obsene noises!

I know it well. I believe I may have a PC fan problem as well. Is this an easy fix? Something a novice can do?

Well...

that depends ;)

First thing you’ll have to figure out which of the fans is the problem, this can be (from easy to getting more difficult):

  • the graphics card fan: One screw and then exchange the card (if your card even has one)
  • the case fan: Just four screws and easy to reach (some cases don’t even have this one anymore)
  • the power supply fan: depends on your case and how tight everything is in there
  • the CPU fan: probably best to only do with good instructions
