I have a Daytek (Daewoo)sytem (CT62105) and my power supply fan is really noisy...

But when i opened the case ...
The fan was not replacable, because of the power suplly ( a 112 Watts, really small)

So i wonder what type of power supply can I buy to replace it ­...

Can someone help me ?
 
You'll have problems because the Daewoo is propriotory. If you need, pull the fan and mount one outside to pull the air in the same direction. Ed Fair

Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply. Help increase my knowledge by providing some feedback, good or bad, on any advice I have given.
 
Here's a little something I do for noisy power supply fans - while it's running, I quickly jab a screwdriver into the fan; fan stops, a bunch of dust goes flying, and almost always gets rid of what caused the noise.

Worst case scenario with stopping the fan is you'll have to replace the fan, which you were going to _anyways_ because of the noise.
 
My problem is not that i don't want to change it...
It's that the shape of the fan is not standard and if i wanna change it I can't cuz I can't find a fan that fits in the hole.
 
Didn't you metal work at school?? well I did and if a standard 80mm fan won't fit, then make it fit!
I know it's easier said than done but needs must! and where there's a will there's a way!
Just make sure it's safe! and that the fan is blowing in the same direction!
AND be careful!!!!! even when turned off and disconnected the capacitors in a PSU can give you a nasty belt!!!!!
Hey! just pop it around to my house and I'll do it for you with pleasure!!lololol Martin Vote if you found this post helpful please!!
