Most psu fans are 92mm they have a 2 pin plug not a 3 pin like case fans some are built right in to the psu board so you have to splice em in ther

Most I have seen are 80mm, especially my Antec TruePower 430.

I would change it immediately if I were you, another thing: don't ever get cheap PSUs, they die really fast and when they do they like to take your PC with it. Had a pIII-700mhz once, cost me like $3800 so I stinged on the PSU, within a year it died and took my harddisk, mobo and cdrom with it :(

I have the cheapest computer ever made and I cannot even here the hard drive buzzing much less the fan however my old HP has a problem with that unless the noise is pissing you off then leave it alone until that cheap piece of $h!t stops working. My HPs fan has been doing that since about a month after I got it 3 years ago.
