Is A Power Supply Fan The Same As A Case Fan?
If Not What Do I Have To Look Out For Because Im Looking For A New Power Supply Fan.
Power supply fan is fan inside the power supply, which is the box inside the case of your pc that the main power cable to the pc plugs in to.
Case fan is the fan inside the case that provides ventillation to the case.
In some power supplies, the power supply fan will act as a case fan by sucking air from inside the case and redirecting it through the power supply then outside the case. This type of power supply is unusual though.
in most situations the power supply fan does not act as a cooling system for the case. (and therefore does not act as a case fan).
If you replace your power supply fan be VERY CAREFUL as they are extremely dangerous to work on because they deal with direct current from your power socket.
The fans inside the PSU are attached by 4 screws to the metal enclosure. usually they are attached to the circuit board by a plug. I have teken a few to pieces and hevent seen one which requires soldering. That may be the case with some models though.
USE EXTREME CARE if replacing a power supply fan!!!!
Replacement power supplies are very cheap and can be picked up for about $25.
If its the PSU fan, it may be simpler to just replace the unit (a new fan is by itself about $10)
So for about $15 you can have a whole new unit with no risks to your machine or to your health
