Yes and No Jenik! Poking a stick in your power supply to stop momentarily wont cause any major harm to the system althought the fan bearings (if any) will go out of alignment... thats no good at all too but it will help u in determining the loud sound problem where is coming from. Hence, bearings are what make the most noise in power supply when the fan is spinning... and the more noise they make, chances are something will start to overheat inside your unit... such as hard drive or any component... there on. Good idea and a good tip also... at least once a month u should give your system a PM and clean all the fans and cracks for proper ventilation... it really does help. -WC On Wed, 22 May 2002 12:56:33 +0000 (UTC), "JNIK" <Shaw57@btinternet.com> wrote: >would this not cause damage to any components? >"Uncle Bully" <wakeupcall@optushome.com.au.remove> wrote in message >news:3ceb9103$0$15147$afc38c87@news.optusnet.com.au... >> >> Poke a stick into your power supply fan and see if the noise stops. >> Power Supply fans are usually the source of the most noise. >> >> >> "JNIK" <Shaw57@btinternet.com> wrote in message >> news:acg2p7$r9p$1@knossos.btinternet.com... >> > hi there,i have an AMD athlon xp.1.47 ghz on an epox 8kha+ mobo, and my >> > case is the antec sx1030. when i first booted up it was pretty noisy, >and >> i >> > guessed it was the fans so i went to quietpc.com and bought 2 new fans, >> put >> > them in and it is still as noisy as before! does anyone have any tips or >> > ideas as to how i could mkae this pc quieter as it is pretty loud, >> > reminiscent of a space ship taking off everytime i boot up! >> > it is getting annoying and i think its giving me headahes to any help >with >> > this would be greatly appreciated! >> > thanks in advance >> > Jon >> > >> > >> >> >
