I recently upgraded my HSF from a Venus 12 to an XP-90 with a low noise 90cm fan. Now that my fan is quieter, I notice whenever my video card (9800 Pro, nothing spectacular) starts going strong, I can hear my CPU fan speed decrease. Could my PSU not be putting out enough power? or does the problem lie elsewhere? System in sig.
As a side note, my rig used to crash when I opened a game, so i checked out the vid card, and on the 4 pin (floppy style) power connector, one of the pins was burnt so that it turned the casing on the 4 pin connector brown. I switched to a different connector on a different line and it doesn't crash anymore, but the CPU fan slowing has been happening for a while, could these two problems be related?
