This pc has a noisy cpu fan, I replaced it with one from a identical pc I had saved for parts and it is still making the same noise. Could it be the power going to it ?

Could be the same make of fan. And it could be the bearings have dried out in both of them. Treat yourself to a new fan, you know you`re worth it <g>. It`ll also protect your CPU.
Don`t know what part of the world you`re in Ed. But go to www.google.com, and type in CPU cooling fans , to try to get an idea of the types available, (for your particular CPU obviously). Personally, I use a CoolMaster variable speed one on my AMD 3000+. HTh.
