I have almost 4year old PSU. Its Odyssey 230v.

Problem is that, its FAN isn't working anymore. It was not working since 2-3 months but I didnt knew that :eek: One day while cleaning PC I noticed a LOT of Dust on its wings... it was doubtful.
One day I Open'd my Cabinet,Took out PSU , Kept it out for Few hrs Till it gets to Normal Temperature.

I opened it and Unscrewed the FAN from it, Cleaned it ..and When I tried to move the Fan Wings with my Fingers...they were hard and the Fan was Jammed very fking Hard :/

I have also noticed that the FAN's wires are attached to the PSU's Circuit Board.

Can I replace the Fan ? Coz I don't want to buy a New PSU now , i'm anyways planing to buy Zeb 450W for the Future upgrade with new Cabin and components , but I NEED this to work for now.

And also Where can I buy these Fans? Ebay.in has 1 seller but shipping costs more than the FAN :lol:

Note : PC is working Fine No problems at all . just the PSU heats a bit more than Normal.

get antec bp300p at 1.8k.
you can replace the fan, but getting a good psu is important.

Never go for local brands and buy at least Antec VP450P or Seasonic S12II 450 or any thing higher which ever suits your purpose.

If you haven't cancelled the order, I would go ahead and get it, because it will be certainly better than your 4 year old PSU, and it is quite sufficient to run a normal machine without a dedicated graphics card. It will also run a system with graphics card, which does not need a 6-pin or 8-pin power connector, without issues as long as you get a good unit.

And no, it will not give you the full 450w output. (Don't put too many items in your system).

Coming from someone who has replaced quite a few no-name PS Units with this for customers' budget constraints.
