As others have said. That little fan is not a "gimmick".....It actually works......Now the fact that it failed is a whole different story.
Gamers Nexus find that Arctics little fan did work as intended and cooled the VRM slightly.
Yeah, that's why I got this specific aio for my bros new build I put together for him as the Asrock mobo he chose doesn't have the best vrm and heatsink. His case is a cube shape and doesn't have a fan right next to the io that would give some airflow to the vrm.
A tiny little fan that runs all the time over the VRM in the need that that VRM might need cooling sometime seems stupid even if it does cool it slightly (when it works). Is this a way to try and get around the ASETEK pump in cpu block patent?
"Let me open this PSU" said the guy with balls of steel. I would never do that haha amazing!!
GN tested that Arctic Fan and it actually cools quite well. Flipped upside down its perfect for cooling your top NVME drive also. Its not a gimmick, it works.
yo Timmy!!! thank you for the wonderful video bud! As always it was a pleasure to watch and I cant wait until the next one.
thank you so much for all your hard work and great content i would love to see more videos of you doing your other job have a great day tj
Hi Timmy Joe! Love your show! I own two EVGA power supplies, 650 G3 Gold, and 650 G5 Bronze. They're both super quiet and run cool. Is it the BQ models maybe? Or yours was dropped in shipping? Anyway, great vid as usual.
I'm sure Tech Jesus tested the effectiveness of the VRM fan and it did actually lower VRM temps
Question Timmy J. I have an Akitio Node Titan and its power supply fan is super loud. any ideas?
What did you put on your cpu cooler in the first minute of the video?
Yea, worn bushings was my worry with the fan in the water block with Arctic Cooling AIO... I like that cooler overall - it is my fav AIO. I know from GN that the VRM fan is extremely limited to what it does, though it does a little more then other coolers that don't have it. Sure would be nice if Arctic could find a solution to facilitate user replacement of that ity-bitty fan in it's next version (and if not, then I agree with you in that they need to remove it). But at least it can be deactivated semi easily.
My PSU just started to have fan crackle that kind of sounds like an old platter HDD clicking. So debating if I want to bother trying to re lube the bearings in it or replace its fan or just replace the whole unit to an actual modular one. When it started doing it a couple of days ago I at first thought my radiator sprung a leak and the hot liquid was hissing out.
In the newer models of that Aio isn't the little fan cable soldered in place? Maybe it was a GN video - I just have it in my head that I saw that somewhere.
Hey there anyone I know this video is 1 year old but I have that same PSU (bought 2019) and its driving me nuts for like solid 3 months now, a lot louder than the one shown here I still hear it with headphones. I don't have the money right now to get a new unit, should I change the fan? Any fan of the same size should do it right?
@Timmy Joe PC Tech I have the Arctic LF 11 240. The VRM fan wasn't spinning up (it was trying to) without my assistance getting it going. After I got the fan to start spinning it began making a very high pitch squealing noise. I contacted Arctic and they are going to send me a replacement fan for me to swap in. Apparently it is an easy fix, but I'm not sure of that. Guess I'll find out when I have to do the swap over.
The Fractal Design Mesh Case is so nice and clean Timmy!
I've got a Fractal case in 'Petrol Blue' if I remember right. It's blue and looks pretty. NO RGB ANYWHERE on my stuff.
Love the case . I bought one when it was first reviewed. Great for a full loop
That was weird about the PSU Fan, can't say I've ever had that happen yet. It probably will now I've said that LOL. All jokes aside I did buy an 80+ Gold Fully Modular so maybe not. I'm definitely coming round to liking the Vertical GPU Mounting options available. GPUs are Really Heavy now and sag is going to be an issue after a while.
Have to say I did buy into the Arctic Freezer Tiny Fan idea but, now you put it that way TJ, I can see it's more of a Gimmick than something genuinely useful or worth having.
I needed this.Thanks bro
What Geforce RTX card is that? I have never heard any coil whine from my Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3090 OC Edition in my gaming rig. That Fractal Design Mesh Case is really nice. I have Fractal Design R6 Tempered Glass case. And yes my RTX 3090 did fit in that case after i moved 2 hdd caddys xD
I used to have a motherboard with two tiny 40mm fans (I think it was a z77 board) and they were by far the loudest thing in the whole system. They had a very whiney sound to them whenever they ramped up. ended up unplugging them after I realized what the sound was. Companies need to stop using tiny fans on well EVERYTHING. If they are quiet it usually means they are spinning so slow as to be nearly pointless or they are loud in an unpleasant way. Also, if something requires a tiny fan to cool it than it's probably not a huge heat generating thing, just put a larger heatsink on it instead of a small one and a fan *looks at X570*.
Hey Timmy Joe! Where do you get your lo-fi music from?
You wont get an answer because the answer us obvious. 🖖
Epidemic sound library. I'm bad for not including any of the info I'm supposed to in the description.
@@TimmyJoePCTech You have included it Timmy-Joe. I checked it up before answering the guy asking. 🖖👽
Just goes to show that no matter how tech savvy you are...sometimes you just gotta hit it and see. LOL
2 years ago I wanted to change out my PSU fan in a 2008 Cooler Master 850W and found out it was a 135mm fan. So I dusted it off and squirt some WD in there and it was fine for a year and then it started making a Morris code sound like something very very small was arching. Now it's on display in all it's black chrome housing glory as the oldest PSU I have and will work in a pinch (but may catch fire in that pinch).
I have a 2007 antec that still works fine. It’s a seasonic built PSU.
Hi i know this video is old but if someone can tell me what tube clamps he is using i would be realy happy.
Does this noise cause damage?
Mine does this but only upon start up for around a minute or so then it’s fine what does this mean?
I always thought those VRM fans Arctic pits where unnecessary, until I switched over to a Dan A4 and a 645lt where there’s not that much airflow near the m.2 mount on my Asus B550i and the chipset was going upwards of 85C
noise issues are annoying, used the pen trick myself on a chipset cooler, i just left in in there for years lol.
my 2 last build i do so much research i never had noise issues. but it sure to require work and quality parts.
Hey Timmy, I'm currently having a problem that sounds similar. The problem is, my PC keeps rebooting shortly after signing in. Did you deal with that?
The liquid cooling doesnt circulate its bc of air bubble so your AIO keep heating + CPU heating so its safety mecanism to turn off your pc automatically to avoid fire. You can try rotate your AIO upside down
Hey Timmy Joe. I have the same issue with my EVGA PSU I don’t want to take apart my PSU. What do you think my best option is?
Sell it
sell it and get a different psu
Hi Gordon, love your swearwords and stuff. Oh yeah and cooking shows. 'Spunk foot games' sounds really interesting too. Cheers.
So yeah, sell it or bite the bullet and take it apart! Replace fan, solder a resistor into the red wire etc.
timmy look into the amd threadripper 1920x maybe a good low buck build
Protip: Never open your PSU.
Dont you mean life tip😅

Welcome back
Jimmy Toe! Welcome back
I had an issue with my Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000w PSU where the PSU stopped working completely, when I tested the PSU with a PSU tester and a multimeter the PSU tested fine but the fan no longer worked so I ditched the cheap fan in it and put a Noctua Redux fan, put a 3 pin to 2 pin fan cable to connect to the PSU fan header and have been using it for 3 years since the fix
Hmm, I've been running a couple of those Freezer II AIOs since they came out and still haven't had a problem with the VRM fans. Honestly, I like that the fan is there. It does help cool VRMs a couple degrees at least and it is easy to disable if it fails. I would like it less if it made it cost more, but Arctic is still able to make the best AIO at the lowest price even with the fan. The only problems I've ever had from the Arctic AIOs is getting the mounting pressure correct, especially on Ryzen CPUs it seems. But, man how I miss the days when Arctic cooling products were like my little secret. Everything was so accessible and inexpensive and performed just as well or better than anything else. Now, I can barely find anything in stock. A lot of times when I do, it isn't direct from Arctic and is marked way up. Like I just had to spend $100 over MSRP for one of their 420mm AIOs the other day. It's ridiculous! I'm happy to see them getting the credit they deserve, but I kind of wish the tech press and youtubers would stop mentioning them. Actually Timmy Joe, you can talk about how you don't like their AIO design all day. Do more of that. lol
so people do not lubricate the noisy fan before replacing it?
AS far as I know many users including myself have reported this issue to arctic and this will happen to every AIO that has this small VRM fan, Arctic will send you a replacement VRM fan if this does happen within the warranty period of course and if you don't want to wait at least a week to hear back from them you can just disconnect the VRM fan from the AIO, There are many guides on how this can be done and its very simple. Yes I had to do this to mine (Arctic Liquid Freezer ii 120mm) because it was louder than 6 120mm fans in my system also by arctic (p12).
Short Answer : Just disconnect the VRM fan everything else such as the pump are very quiet and should last about 5 to 7 years*.
Long answer : Go through the warranty and ask for a replacement new VRM fan but may take 1 to 4 weeks to hear back from Arctic.(took them 3 weeks to get back to me)
I bouhgt the same power supply at microcenter months ago and the fan would run at full speed all the time, no matter the usage. Ended up putting a noctua fan that maxes out at 1200 or 1400rpm and it made it so much better
I had a rattle in my fans, I turned the off one by one, but it wouldn't stop. I finally figured out that I need the outflow fans (only two) to be at a higher RPM that the intake fans (there are three). Once I slightly increased the RPMs the noise stopped.
i have 2 Arctic Liquid freezer II AIO`s 280 & 360 the 280 runs in my friends system the 360 in my personal rigg, so far neither have issue`s with the on block fan.
gpu fans are easy to replaces. you can buy a new 1/2/3ct of fans make sure theyre all tied together and replace it on your gpu. fan blades pop off the motors and you can keep original fan blades, if theyre still good.
I once had a GPU that started making a noise like that. Sounded like the blades were hitting something. All it took to stop it was to loosen one of the screws holding it in slightly, only slightly and the noise disappeared. It was one of the GTX 680 5x SOC cards from Gigabyte, the ones with 5 small server fans mounted on the side.
Bro you’re the best I guess I put the back fans screws in too tight
i once had a power supply that exploded and caught on fire it was a 700w non rated from facebook marketplace
Got a Trio 6800, and to keep it from sagging, I have a chunky Cord Cap keeping the card perfectly level.
I grew up with Commodores. Graduated to a 286, then 386, and 486. Fans make noise. That's how you know they're working. Imo.
Just out of curiosity what's the name of the case?
Last time i checked a rig. I had a very unfamiliar sound. The cpu was shorting a pin on the socket. Where it buzzed like yours behind the waterblock.
That small fan on the aio pump is actually good and does make vrm cooler. Go check out GNs video on it.
I am thinking if the AIO pump stops spinning would Timmy just disconnect the pump and just live with it like that? :)
No. He's an expert and a professional (contrary to how he acts)
I loved this Video!
Thx. your video saved me 150.00. Fixed the fan myself.
Jesus! clean that bottom filter grosso!
My aio makes the same noise but since it's a rog with a screen on it... Idk how it's making the noise. Help..?
The VRM fan on the Arctic freezer 2 has a relatively high failure rate apparently.
dude my power supply makes a weird noise when i playing games and the temperature is heating up, it hasnt happened to me before after 1 year that i bought it, maybe its becase its summer here and its really hot idk...it runs ok and quiet when i am not playing games that really rise up the temperature...
So I agree the little fan on the cpu block is another point of failure but can we give them...half a point?...for making it easy to disconnect? At least it's an easy fix
I have this issue but can’t get into my power supply due to the model and idk how to plz help
What did he put on the AIO at 0:57 to make it quiet?
Oh nvm didnt understand that he just stopped the aio fan. I have a kraken x53 thats making the same noise and i dont know how to stop it. If anyone has some tips pls help=).
Both fans had busted bearings. It happens, especially with cheap sleeved bearing fans. No amount of hitting, jamming, and positioning will help those fans. I kind of cringed when Timmy Joe started messing with the fans. I have been able to disassemble fans and add oil to the bearings only for the sound to return a month later. Replace or remove is the only thing you can do. Hopefully, the fans you install are of good quality.
I had to do that with mine. Wasn't as bad as on your Arctic cooler. I just disconnected the fan cable. EZ
So i have to change my fan on it ? Ok thanks . mine too after 5 month my fan in start make noise and stop and noise i always did think my pc got problem but is power suply :)
I had a strange buzzing in my pc for awhile - could not track it down, was driving me crazy. Then one of my hdds died. Buzzing stopped. The drive vibrations were causing a sympathetic vibration elsewhere making the buzzing noise appear elsewhere.....
I love the silver duct tape holding the CPU mounting plate on the back of the motherboard. Definitely a V1 or V2 Liquid Freezer II. Mounting without something locking that plate in place is so infuriating.
My aio pump, on the actual CPU just started to make a loud humming sound after I had my room gassed for fleas... Feels great
You know what would be cooler (literally and figuratively) than a tiny built in 20mm fan? A removable bracket for a standard fan, to act like a downdraft cooler would.
OOOF. My older build makes this noise. I know it's the PSU fan making the noise. Sometimes I just slap it, and it behaves.
Awesome content, please more Sir....🙄
hey can anyone tell me why my pc fans sometimes 'roar' when the gpu is under load? I have 3 nzxt aer p12's from the nzxt x73 aio, 2 pre installed fans from the corsair 4000d airflow and the gpu has 2 gigabyte windforce fans. what i mean by 'roar' is that any of the fans i listed (or maybe all of them) start to randomly ramp up and then goes down to a lower rpm, and again ramps up. also i have to mention that when the 'roaring' happens, it starts vibrating a bit. no, it doesnt show on any software that a change in fan speed is happening, and i cant find anything on the internet. any tips are much appreciated.
It's the connection. Get a fan hub.
I have. It’s an Arctic Fam Hub and the BIOS settings are set to ‘Smart Fan’ which makes the fan’s rpm run based on the temperature of the cpu and no it’s not on DC
I think that's my psu.. is that one semi modular?
Edit: yea it is pretty sure I have that one. Mines not that loud tho.. the dust filter under the psu looked clogged maybe part of the issue? Idk
Not cleaning it and swapping the fan, with an lower rpm one...
Next on RUclips, " my house burned down!"
@@TheSilviu8x The psu fan is there to cool all the localised components and sinks that will get hot in that little box.
The 'I might power it via a pwm and control the speed in the BIOS' is just asking for the psu to overheat and burst into flames.
@@soopafamicom I know, I've managed to experience that... Fortunately it didn't burst into flames, it just died quietly.
There is no "little bit of electrocution". There is a "little bit of a shock", but electrocution is absolute and final.
@Timmy Joe I advice you to change this EVGA stoch fan for Noctua. Trust me please. Those fans like to die more often than you imagine
it's making that noise cause you didn't hit it with a hammer today Timmy Joe that's why 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have a Evga 600B, and make loud noises, i just flip the fan, because it was loosing the oil, and after that stop to make noises...
many moons ago a wise sage told me a magic word that fixes all PSU problems and now i pass it on to you "Seasonic" use the word wisely never say it after midnight and be one with the Universe.
those stickers in the center of the fan drive me nuts. it can actually effect the life of the fan pull them off people!
Its 1 at night and i am still watching this i dont even have a pc going to build one but why
Thank you so much now I know I can get rid of that stupid little fan
oh look.... ANOTHER BROKEN PC THAT JIMMY TOE HAS TOUCHED...................
7:55 lol this is what i've been doing to my 8 year old rig to shutup that annoying dying psu fan.
It looks like a 25-30mm fan. 8:58
I 3d model using the metric system
God damn it youtube.... I subscribed to this guy's channel so that his videos would show up in my "subscribed feed"
Sorry for being so late TJ
C'mon Timmy joe you should have taken the little fan apart and greased up the bearings and used it :)
"Oh the noise! Oh the noise, noise, noise, noise! There's one thing I hate: oh the noise, noise, noise, noise!", Dr. Seuss
Normally mounted GPU is much nicer than side mounted - why show spinning plastic FANs and sometimes block all the PCIe slots?
Yeah, i just love the GPU sag, the more, the better!
Damn opening up a power supply what for this should never be done by the average person.
Esp when that someone looks like they have no idea on what they are doing.
I have the same problem with my vrm fans ( motherboard x99 tf)
I have the EVGA 750GQ version of that PSU and the fan is very quiet.
BQ and GQ are different series
Problem with a vertical mount, more heat pushed into your motherboard. There is simply NO good reason to vertical mount a GPU unless it's purely as a show peice that doesn't actually run.
It depends how the fins on the radiator are oriented, if vertical, it's actually better this way.
@@TheSilviu8x good point actually! I was thinking more of the RTX Founders edition setup, but you're right! A good AIB would benefit from vertical in some respects in relation to air flow and case size, agreed.
Ie. A full tower high airflow setup like I've got (Corsair 750D high airflow) would benifit greatly with 2x120 mm fans in the bottom pushing up would greatly improve cooling of the card, but a mid tower with restricted airflow at the front (90% of current cases and older ones) to mini itx case, simply no it'll make them more of an oven than ever before and the VRM's and CPU socket will take a beating too! Especially on non high end implementation boards.
I just don't see the benifit other than aesthetics over function myself.
Air flow and fluid dynamics (AIO's and radiators) are key to performance in my experience as an enthusiast. But each to their own right? Especially of you're not overclocking or running high powered parts to begin with and it's more of a showcase PC etc.
But yeah you've certainly got merit in your discussion, thank you very much mate!
Thanks for your input mate, I really appreciate it.
i use a separate 1970s tv cabinet to put my pc on as i have a loud speaker setup and dont like my hdds hurting
Nice
Problem with the fan; It's probably a liquid bearing fan, and the "liquid" has dried out.
7:50. No Timmy I was already cringing when I seen you were playing fortnight!!!
Cool dude.
I thought your personal pc was the orange one in the background???????
You really shouldn't used an electric screwdriver your going to either over tighten something or under tighten something. Nothing beats feel of feeling the threads on the screw.
There is always something causing noises in a PC. I have had several sets of RGB ram that twinkles when set in rain pattern settings. It's an electronic twinkling noise which is terribly annoying. Great fixes though on the AIO and PSU, shame Arctic felt the need to add useless features that cause more issues than solutions.
