Hi

 

 

 

I currently have a Coolermaster RS-650-PCAR-E3. The fan is making rattling noises, which I assume means the bearing is about shot and Bad Things will start to happen at any time.

 

 

 

So, on the lookout for a replacement. Sub $120, 650w is still perfectly fine. Any recommendations please?

 

 

 

A couple I have found:

The Corsair or the Coolermaster of those are fine, depends what your requirements are, make sure that cable lengths and amount of connectors are good enough for your build.

The Coolermaster RS-650-PCAR-E3 model is over 10 years old and are known for their fans to make rattling noises!


Any PSU would be an upgrade so I wouldn't get too caught up in deciding. 


Me personally I prefer Corsair but that's just a personal preference. They've worked for me. People will tell you differently though. I would just go for the cheapest option or look for the latest model. 


Out of your 3 options it would be between these 2 for me.


The CoolerMaster MPX 650 was released in AUG 2017


And the Corsair VS 650 was released in JAN 2018


Hope this helps.

I've fixed a few rattling fans before, take apart, spray some crc in and it can go fine.
