Thankyou very much. you just resurrected my dead computer although you should add that some fans have a rubber cap under the sticker. i didnt know about that which caused me troubles.

My PSU started to be a little bit noisy. I've had it for a bit over a year now, and it's not really running that much compared to so many others. Anyway, I did as in the video and it totally worked. Awesome, thanks!

my fan has no hole in the middle, still buzzing as of now

Appreciated. Great tip with the Sewing Oil. It fixed my smaller Fan on my Asus Eee Box.
I recommend Cotton Sticks and kitchen roll to wipe off excess Oil if you work with laptop sized fans.

@technicdesigner Did you drop a screw in it? Knowing you personally, I think you probably will have done...

Today my power supply fan has just started making a noise - kinda like a cricket or grass hopper, it seems to get quieter when a game (like battlefield) isn't running, should I do this, or just replace the fan? I just don't want it over heating and then the psu dying and then it taking other components with it as it is only 3 and a half months old. Any help?

@SkulLzSouL It's so much joy fixing things then replacing them altogether.
Our trailer park stocks replacement power supplies. Yours should too.

Ours ran out, hence the "MacGuyver" fix job.

I would like to point out on the before and after part of this video, the before part had a very noisy sound coming from the fan. When I uploaded the video to YouTube it muted this sound, if you turn up your speakers and the video's audio, you can still partially hear this "before" sound.
