Hi folks
I am new to this forum.
I have next problem. I use an old dell dimension 4700 pc which was always so loud. Fan started running craizy soon after I start using pc. In a summer time even more.
I was wondering if I could improve this situation if i replace power supply with more powerfull power supply. Is that a good idea?
Will i run into size or electricity compatibility issues or they are all the same?
At this time I have to open my balcony door if i want fan not to run a lot and loud.
Hi Bobby
Thank you for respond. I sure know which one: there is a big tube going from cpu to outbound flow pc grill. This tube covers cpu grill almoust completely leaving just 1 side open I guess for air inflow.
Your link looks great. Will it be enough to change just a fan? It looks like it’s 650watt. I do not think my power supply powerfull enough. I am unfortunately not near this pc so I can’t check. But regular Dell power supply I think much less powerfull.
Regards, Gene.
you can change your fan no problem, with a 650w psu you can run loads of fans without a problem. so just get that noisy fan changed and your all good. only time you really want to consider a psu upgrade is when your adding more and more hardware e.g. graphics cards because the high end cards do take alot of power. but a fan won’t use anythin near a graphics card power consumption.
Hi, I am not sure if i expressed myself. I said that fan which link you sent is 600W (not 650), but my power supply is regular - not sure what.
So i want to confirm again: can i go forward and use 600W fan?
Can i use even more powerfull?
Thank you, Gene.
