noisy chieftec PSU

SmG · Jun 4, 2011

So i have this 1000w Chieftec PSU witch i have had for some time now. And its starting to get rather noisy. I think the fan inside it is dying tbh. Is there anyway to change the fan? its a Cheftec A135 1000w/APS-1000c both those name are on it

From Norway so my English aint that good. sorry four any grammar errors

I'd be better just to RMA it and get a new unit back. Opening up your power supply will generally void your warranty(and you more likely won't be able to RMA it if you mess with the insides), also if you aren't very familiar with the insides of a PSU, then i wouldn't take chances at messing with it, because you could have a very serious problem on your hands if you screw things up.

I believe you have a 3 year warranty on that, check when you bought it. I have the 850W version and it is whisper silent

yeah, does yours run quite hot or does the fan not ramp up at all?
