PSU Fan making loud noise

yeah my PSU fans been making this loud noise for awhile but I never did anything about it b/c it never gave me a problem. Its just really annoying b/c it sounds like a microwave and its really loud. Will it give me problems later if I keep on using it w/o doing anything about it? Is there anyway I can replace the fan or quiet the sound?
 
In many PSUs the fans are replaceable, in others, not. Sounds like it's dying, to me. I'd have a spare/replacement on hand if I were you.

sounds like your bearing/bushing is wearing out. or the brushes might be going bad. either way replace it ASAP b/c if it fails you burn your PSU. sad
 
Unless you really want to replace the power supply fan,
you are usually better off replacing the whole power
supply.

Shop around for a good price and replace the whole
power supply.

You can usually run the power supply for awhile. When
it stops making the noise then the fan is dead and the
power supply won't last long after that.
