XPS 8950, fan noise is intermittant and very loud

Unfortunately Dell has let us all down by supplying inferior hardward. The fan unit is a problem for a lot of people now.

It seems to start rattling just after the warranty expires!

If it is the small fan in 8950/8960 psu yes it is known.  there is a way to replace the fan if user is handy.  Dell has not improved QC on these server type psu fans.

The PSU fan is making a racket. You cannot work with this noise near you. Will Dell assist?

Only if it's still under (extended) warranty or you pay them to replace the PSU.

The PSU fan doesn't run all the time, so that's why it may be intermittently noisy.
