After switching PC on my PSU fan started to make an unbelievable noise, with strong vibrations, like when cutting a metal pipe with a dull circular saw. After about 10-20 seconds based on the room temperature it got silent (perhaps stopped turning, no feedback to PC). I operated it that way for many months.. Finally I opened the PSU and looked at the fan it (a standard 80mm fan) and found out its bearing was dry but in perfect condition. I greased it a little and since then it is almost noise free (and it blows as it should) :) |

Whatever the '7002 is doing makes no sense. Melexis makes US90A I would stuff one of those in there. Only 4 pins are required. Or the MP6517. I find few IC's have the built-in Hall sensor. For fan lube I use 5W20 off the dipstick if I'm cheap lol. Krytox GPL 105 is expensive heaven - it doesn't evaporate, not oil-based and has Teflon, used in space. It seems to be used for keyboard switches too. So far it works the best. |

Unfortunately I voided the warranty by dismantling the unit. :( Now looking at powering the fan using a HDD brushless motor, maybe... --- End quote --- For future reference, don't tell the manufacturer you've taken their product apart or modified it in any way when you put in a warranty claim. Unless of course if these were the cause of the failure. |
