Hi all, i have got an Antec 902, and im very sure that the big boy top fan is making a rattle, which trust me, is annoying.

Ive checked inside and i cant see it hitting anything and i cant hear it on boot (around 4pm most days) but i can in the evening, i guess when the ambient sound is quieter, but when it is late it is very audible.

I wanted to know if this is normal at all, and if any other owners have experienced this?

Thanks.
 
I use it on the lowest fan speed, on the highest its a massive douche.

It might be because my tranquillo is pushing towards the back and the fan is pulling up ??

I doubt it though. It is really annoying when im not playing music .ect
 
A cursory google brought me to the forum I was going to post on anyway. I realise this is resurrecting an old post but it's entirely relevant so I see no need to duplicate. For me the top case fan in my new Antec 902 case clicks when spinning under power but not if you just reach in and shove the fan around with your hand. It's not hitting any wires and the click relates to fan speed, as the switch can be adjusted when it's on.

The case it surprisingly quiet so this click is ruining my new build by being blindingly annoying. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Perhaps some instructions on how to remove the fan from the case so I can get some lubricant or wd40 in there. Also would be nice to have a way to test the fan directly without wasting time going through to bios or booting. can I plug and unplug the fan (to molex not motherboard) while a machine is on?

Appreciate any responses.
