XFX fans

Hi guys. I have recently started hearing a ticking sound coming from my PSU. Turns out, that I'm not the only one with this problem.

XFX fan problems are all over their products

Apparently, the only way I can get this fixed is if I send it back to my dealer, and have them ship me out another XFX PSU, with the chance of having the exact same problem. I knew I should've gone with the Corsair AX850. I'm pretty frustrated by this, as I just sent back my OCZ SSD, which I had to pay for shipping, and now I'm going to have to do it again. I honestly feel like I should just keep the PSU. It isn't noticable, nor permanent, it just happens every so often, and I can only hear it when I don't have any sound coming from my speakers/headset, but god damn, those moments are horrid!

Not bashing XFX, but I was originally going to get a XFX 6950, and now I'm glad I didn't. On the bright side it is one sexy looking PSU in my Raven, especially since I can see the XFX Black Edition logo

Not that I could see when I had a quick read up. Apparently it's just a common problem with their fans. I guess when it gets worse I'll just claim warranty, but for no it seems alright. Still frustrating

If it's not gonna break, wait until the warranty is up (or until you don't really care) and fit your own fan.
 
From what I've heard the XFX graphics cards are normally good, it's there other stuff that's normally the problem.

Sorry to hear your having these problems with your rig mate.
 
I did a fan swap on a seasonic 430w power supply a few years ago to make it quieter. It still works and is whisper quiet. As long as you are careful not to touch anything scary lookin' you should be OK.
