Afternoon all,
I’ve been using 7x Fractal Design 120mm Silent Cooling Fans in my new build (Fractal R2 case) since January, and I’ve had 2 of them recently starting to sound like there is something getting hit by the blades.
I have checked this- they are all clear of any obstructions.
Getting my head as close as I can without loosing an ear... it sounds like its coming from the centre mechanism of the fans.
3 are running off of the controller that came with the case, the rest running off the MB. all are running less than the 1000rpm spec.
May be looking to send them back if trail-and-error repositioning and cleaning if needed doesn't solve it. (They must have a warranty??)
Has anyone had the same problem? If so, did you manage to resolve it other than RMA?
Thanks in advance.
