The PSU in my comp has 2 fans, one on each end. The inner most fan has
begun making some noise which goes away after a couple of minutes.
I've thoroughly cleaned it but the noise persists and I think I need
to replace the fan. How would I determine what size fan to order?
TIA

A ruler should do the trick. It's probably an 80 or 92 mm fan.

Many thanks to all who replied. After digging into the momser, it
seems the PSU is a cheap ass 450 watt Raidmax. I poked at the fans a
bit and they quieted down, as I couldn't get at the bearing/sleeve to
add oil. If it gets noisy again I'll just replace the whole deal.
Again, thanks to all.
