as the title says. have you tried receiving faulty hardware before?
usually when something is wrong it's not hardware failure, specially when you have first gotten it.
I just got a new PSU for my birthday. for the first time i actually think that i have gotten a faulty piece of hardware.
It spins up randomly and it makes a click noise when i shut it down.
it spins up loudly ruffly every 5-8 minutes and then slows down again. (even when on idle)
the first thing i though was bios settings. so a reset everything to default. (so it's not even overclocked right now)
still it does the same thing. i found a great deal of guys on the internet that have similar problems.
one stated that he fixed it by disabling C1E support in the bios. unfortunately that didn't work for me.
i think i have just gotten a bad PSU. i am going to call the company where my mom bought it to hear what we can do about it.
I'm not sure if I understand your post based on the subject. Do you mean receiving faulty hardware as in faulty hardware becoming yours? Or, do you mean reviving? as in making faulty hardware no longer faulty? The context of your post suggests reviving.
I don't mean to pick on you, I just want to make sure we're on the same page. I notice you're from Denmark which suggests to me that you might not be a native English speaker. I must say, that being the case, you are better spoken than a great many native English speakers.
Back to the topic. Yes I have. I have found that when a fan starts making noise in a PSU, I just spend $10-20 replacing the fan rather than upwards of $80 replacing the PSU.
