Yes this is a vid with the case off, but still similar noise with case off and only skipping through a youtube video

starts "boosting" with general web use and youtube viewing

have I mounted something wrong? or is this just how it sounds? :D

What temps are you getting? What is the airflow like in the case?

run cputemp, idle desktops should be pretty cool and cpu fans should slow down. I cant get that video to show.

this is a while after startup not much load so rather cool imo..
it's just a constant "buzz"

airflow pretty bog standard, 2 case fans in a define s case

tried to reattach the vid still not working, no idea:(

sorted vid,

if the fans faulty I can send it back to intel? or do I send it back to the vendor?

definitely not catching on anything

thinking of just buying an aftermarker fan.. RMA seems like a hassle

Is that a stock cooler? looks like. If so they are loud normally because they are crap.

Hi Stephen as everyone has said the stock cooler is a bit crap so go get yourself a nice aftermarket cooler and enjoy cooler temps and quieter fans.

Yeah stock cooler thanks, I was just unsure if it was just loud or I had received a faulty fan, was looking for clarification before I bought a new fan ha

thanks a lot all, any suggestions on a cheap one?
