Is it a rattle or fan noise?

bazacop · 18 Mar 2013 at 20:59

fan noise i think

wildman · 18 Mar 2013 at 21:04

what fans are in there and are they running at full speed ?

maybe invest in a fan controller to slow them down a bit ?

What is the case?

Tealc · 18 Mar 2013 at 21:37

Find out what is making the most noise by stopping fans in turn. The Graphics card looks to be a relatively quiet affair if it's fan is run at idle speed so maybe it's spinning too fast or something. What CPU cooler are you using and what is the fan speed of that?

So it's the BitFenix Shinobi USB3.0 Gaming Case - Black?

How many fans are in it? Have you opened the case yet?

The reason I ask about the case is that it will help us decide what the noise is likely to be. If it's a £2.99 case with twigs and a nail for fans or a higher spec case with decent stock fans then it will be easier to offer advice.

I would advise you to either take this through the customer service forums or get us some more information. (Pictures of the case and preferably the inside of the case) It may even be that something moved in transit and you have a cable touching a fan or something.

Let us know.

Edit: ( Not suggesting that OCUK sells £2.99 cases but you get my drift

Source what component/fan is being loudest.

EDIT:

£45 for a 20% overclock, sweet lord.
