Right guys I ripped out the power supply, took its cover off cleaned it down. Just for my own personal question I tried powering it up like that, wow it was silent. I put the cover back on, yet again still pretty silent. Then I put it back on the PC, and guess what the noise all came back. Im beginning to think this is because of a lot of vibration. Any ideas?
The site I quoted earlier suggests using rubber washers and nylon nuts and bolts to fasten the fan(s). I was personally wondering about using silicone sealant (the sort of stuff used around bath's etc). Maybe also use it to mount the power supply, but I think you would need to add a good earth connection between the ps and the case, but at least a piece of wire shouldn't transmit the vibrations.
