I have this fan mounted sideways in the top of my case above my heatsink, blowing upwards... it's pushing next to no air, and making an odd kind of click noise with each rotation too (though it's not too noticeable). Speed is as advertised.
Is there any reason for it, or is the fan just crap? My 54CFM AF12025 pushes easily three times as much air as this one seems to. FDB not liking sideways mounting? Maybe it's my config:
____FAN___
|AF#[HSF]##
Airflow <------
FAN being the Bitfenix and the other two being my usual HSF and rear fan, if that makes sense?
Cheers
EDIT: Also, the whole case is vibrating like... yeah, even though it's mounted on Akasa Acoustic mounts, could it be these making it vibrate since they're just crap?
