Replace the fan with a quieter one, keep the old fan. You will still probably void the warranty, but if something happens put the old fan back in, and send it in. Ya never know.

They'll know as he'll have to break the sticker to get into the PSU cover.
If the PSU is about 2 years old, it maybe worth replacing the fan, but from my experience, the PSU fans are harder to find a close replacement (you're left guessing the watt/amp on some of them, as they're so generic to not even list it).
If your PSU is the same ones offered at Performance-PCs, you can check what fans they'll replace in a custom mod. It'll give you an idea what watts/amp fan that can be used in it.

Ah, your saying that the fan is not the usual 3 pin connector?. Didn't think of that
The PSU is about 3/4 of a year old.. not much point RMA-ing it.
With the LEDs, they start off being off, then over a period of about 5 mins they slowly get brighter...

It does the clicking sound even if the pc is shut down. But i don't mind, the sound makes me sleepy !
If you are going to open it, leave it disconnected for at least one day, till all electrical charge have gone away

There's something wrong with it. Your options....
1) live with it
2) RMA it
3) fix it yourself (and void warranty)
