I thought this PSU was going to lead to mass destruction today... As in things were going to get smashed.
I noticed the system it was in was making funky noises, like wires caught in a fan so I went in for a closer look. First thing I noticed was that the PSU area was really hot. Cracked the system open and looked around... Nothing looked bad. Shut it down and restarted after making sure, and then the PSU fan wasn't spinning at all. The label from the center hub of the PSU fan had come off and was stuck to a blade. The noise was it slapping around like a playing card in the spokes of a bike wheel. When the PSU was turned off, the adhesive was enough to tape it to the frame and it wouldn't start spinning again until I ripped it off!!!
