I have a OCZ ZT 750w psu, but the Yateloon D14BH-12 (2800 RPM, 140 CFM, 48.5 dB) fan is starting to rattle.

Can I put a fan in there with a lower RPM but with an equal or greater airflow or will worlds collide?

Yes, you can. A PSU of that power won't be stretched on most systems anyway. Airflow is the important factor for cooling anyway.

You may have to cut the old fan off and join the new fan cable to the original connector if it's like the ones I've done. Other than that you're good to go.

Caveat. I've assembled my own PCs and didn't pay attention at school.

So glad that Terry reminded me that airflow is important...Cheers Tel. Razz

Indeed. Prices have crept up.

If you can get into the guts of the fan, new bearings will be pence. Either that, or look up fan balancing and see if you can work out if it needs a fraction of a gram shaving off a blade.

Also, 750w? Got me a 1300. Just in case I need to run a kettle off it too.

1st Gen i7, and many rotating rusts.

All sorted.

I pulled the fan, removed the stickers and bearing cover.
Flushed all the shit out with WD40.

Fingers crossed I get another 6yrs out of it Very Happy

Get some silicone oil and spray it in there. I also ''fixed'' a PSU fan like this. Although I took the c-clip off and removed the fan from the motor to clean the shaft properly.

No-one likes a show-off.

I've done this with a few fans in the past (usually CPU ones after removing all the dust from the heat sink and other components), although I'd just dip a cotton bud in baby oil a couple of times until there was a little puddle. Probably because of the higher rpm, it would last around a year before it needed doing again
