[QUOTE="blockman765, post: 7857526, member: 422075"] Well let me tell you why I even did this upgrade in the first place. It all started a couple of months ago. My computer when I turned it on, made a lawnmower kind of noise (also my computer is 6 years old). And when I hit the (I was not slamming it) power supply it stopped the noise. And When I put my hand in front of the power supplies fan, the noise was muffled. Due to deductive reasoning, I assumend the issue was the power supply fan. I mostly ignored it until yesterday. When I was playing overwatch (which I bet put a lot of stress on my power supply) I started to smell a burning rubber smell. When I looked up what it was, it was apperently very toxic to inhale. That's where I drew the line. I needed a new power supply. Also on that same day, I decided to clean out my power supply. I open it up, and it was filled with dust! NO WONDER! I sprayed canned air all throught it. I could have called it a day and put it back in, but I was worried about it going out and suging and destroying my computer (or even worse, the whole house!). So I decided to get a power supply tommorow (today). If you are wondering why I bought a new cpu cooler, It was on the day I cleaned my power supply. I decided to just clean everything too while I'm at it. So I was an idoit and took the metal heatsink part off the plastic fan part to try to get a better clean on it (it was pretty dusty too). And I could not get the metal heatsink back into the plastic fan part. I eventually forced the metal part into the fan part so hard, I broke the plastic. Mental note: DO NOT TAKE THE METAL HEATSINK OFF OF THE PLASTIC FAN ON A GENARIC INTEL FAN! Needless to say, I needed a new one. So thats why I bought those parts. [/QUOTE]
