Corsair TX650 PSU ticking

[jnb22019]

When I turn of my computer the fan on my Corsair TX650 makes a ticking noise as it slows down.

Would that be the bearing giving up? Would I need to replace the PSU? Could I just replace the fan?

Please advice on the matter.

The noise only comes up when I shut down the computer.

How loud is the ticking? You could be hearing coil wind.

It most likely is the fan bearing. You can replace the fan pretty easily, just splice in a new one.

The best way I can describe the sound is "it sounds like an old car failing" or as if "the fan were hitting something".

It doesn't happen always though. I haven't heard it today.

In that case NiHaoMike is probably right. Just replace the fan and see if it fixes the issue.
