Noise bad! :eek: Squealing is very likely a capacitor.
Since it's still running, you are a prime candidate for the advanced replacement process.
1. Get the replacement.
2. Swap it in.
3. Send back the noisy unit.
Near zero downtime. :cool:
When I was in tech support, I loved the modular NeoPower units. There is another 500 Watt modular power supply, and we had a capacitor problem with it. It was the SmartPower series, which has been discontinued. If you send in a SmartPower PSU, it will most likely be replaced with a much newer...

In the wide picture, it shows how you route the power cable from the...
The wires from the front LEDs and switches are more than 38cm from the back of the case. They are mounted to the front of the case and should not interfere with a 3x rad.
However...
To install a 3x radiator will require removing the 5.25 bays. They are responsible for some of the case...
Whatever fan you choose, just make sure to take advantage of the power cable opening! When I wrote the manual, I was careful to put in that wide picture on page 5 to show the best wire routing. You can stash all the front fan connections (and speed switches, if you elect to use TriCools) in the...
I'll start off with the simple mods that you can do. You can add a 120mm LED fan to the side panel of the 900. Also, eventually, the drive cages for the 1200 may be available separately, and they fit into 900 cases. The advantages of the 1200 drive cages are the dust filters and the rotary knob...
The incompatibility issue has to do with minimum loads and startup timing. I didn't think mobos were still doing this.
There is a very thorough article from a couple years ago that covered this subject:

I have to love it. So many negative posts, but I'm thrilled so many people are talking about it. Aesthetics are personal, subjective. There are plenty of cars I consider fugly, including one that cost ~ $250,000. Well made, fast, quality cars that I wouldn't drive if you gave me one for free...
Appreciate the thought, but the after-market already has things like
that come with the necessary adapter boards. The required adapter electronics would add additional cost to the case that the majority of people who just want to use normal drives won't want to pay.
Long live the NSK 1380. We made some changes to the case in response to customer input and have moved it into the New Solution line of products. It now has a 350 watt PSU that's 80PLUS® certified.
