Hi everyone, I'm new here so please excuse my ignorance but I was wondering if anyone could help me. About a year ago my computer started to make a rattling noise, for ages I didn't know what it was and took it to a number of repair shops. Eventually one of them told me that it was a ball bearing that had gone in my PSU. They replaced it and that was ok. However the new fan and psu was extremely loud so I took it back and they replaced it with a new one which was much quieter. Cut to today or rather this week. The rattling has come back, I am hesitant to believe its the same thing as its only been a year since the PSU was replaced...another thing thats happening is sometimes when I turn my computer on the fan on the psu is extremely loud, it sounds as if its speeding up, after 2 mins it goes quiet and slows down.

 

I was worried that maybe the psu and fan was failing so I took some advice and downloaded speedfan and this is what it showed me-

 

I have one fan (which is weird because I have the psu fan and a small case fan, shouldn't they both appear on this?)

 

The fan1 was doing 2163 rpms

 

my gpu was 65c

temp1 was -55

temp2 was -55

temp3 was 39c

HD0 was 33c

Core was 59c

ambient was 0c

 

are these bad temps?

 

can anyone shed somelight on this for me?

 

Thank you

Hello and welcome.

 

The first thing I would say to do is carefully take off the side of the computer.Power on the computer and listen very carefully and see if you can tell were the sound is coming from.

 

Another thing to do is power off the computer and remove from power outlet.

 

Open her up and touch the PSU for a few seconds.

 

MAKES SURE THE COMPUTER HAS COOLED FIRST.

 

Could you then check the CPU fan is secure and tightly fitted.
