Default PSU Fan Issue
I have a coolermaster 550w psu. The fan is on the fritz. It spins like it wants to start up, but never spins fast. It spins really, really slow. It still works, but this fan issue bothers me. I've turned off my rig and got on another. Should I try to replace it, or rma? I'm gonna be phoenix (I live in San Diego) until July 12.

It's really your call... it would void the warranty but I would personally just go ahead and replace it

The issue with RMAing it is that you'll just wind up with the same type of fan (I'm guessing they use low quality sleeve bearing fans)
