So, I have the PS listed. Going on 8 years old and still runs great, but the fan is loudly ticking. Anyone know if EVGA or any 3rd-party vendors sell a compatible fan I can swap in?

Time to replace the unit as replacing the fan isn’t recommended if you don’t know what you’re doing as you could be killed by touching a charged cap inside the unit.

Uh, #1: I am an electrical engineer going on 42 years, so I know exactly what I am doing, and #2 you cannot be killed by 120VAC across your fingers. Maybe a little sting, at best.

I even have a full soldering station, but was hoping someone had done similar and would have a part number handy.

Right… https://fox4kc.com/news/k...rking-on-computer/amp/

A electrical engineer of 42 years would know you can lookup the part # of the fan once you get it out of the unit, and replace it with a similar spec’d fan. Even if you can’t see a part # on the fan it wouldn’t be hard to find something that would work with the psu. You could even call evga support to ask for the fan specs.

You're right, and I do know that, but since this computer is under constant use I was trying to avoid the time waste of disassemble/reassemble/order part/disassemble/reassemble process.
 
Seems a bit easier to order part, then disassemble/reassemble once, right? Yeah, it really is THAT simple.
 
Yeah, even experienced engineers don't like duplicating efforts if someone else has already done it.
 
Well, I'll continue my search elsewhere since this forum doesn't seem too helpful.

Just call evga support to get the info you need.

Not sure how many folks read these forums anymore, but I finally got around to opening the PS and replacing the fan (it was a busy summer and outside of the annoying ticking the issue wasn't terminal).

At any rate, the exact replacement part is from Amazon (description below - it doesn't let me embed or link it). Under $20, and super-easy to replace; no soldering. Four screws, and the connection was a push connector. The actual replacement took less than 3 minutes, compared to the 15 or so just disconnecting the PS and getting it out of the case. :-)
 
Hope this helps someone in the future.
