catch sound comming from case??

Phil2008 · 15 Aug 2008 at 22:52

Got a strang prob her I get a catching sound from case about twice a day,, it only last a few secs so its a tad impossible to track down,, only had this system for about 4 month and as you can see from the pic, no wires are catching.. All hdds appears to work fine before, during and after the catching noise. Any ideas???????

How about the intake fan, could something be catching there?

Some fans have a problem with a sticker too.

If all that seems ok, maybe a bearing on a fan thats on its way out.

All fans are free of wires, If it was that, it would happen all the timeL, its like there a ghost in my system..lol

Yeh maybe, cos just blown the fans out and could be bothered to hold my psu or case fans stillll, cos I have cerebral palsy and I havent much controll over my left hand/arm movemernts.

I would most liekly put it down to a fan bearing ring chaffing,

catching and clonking noise, is best to describe it

I think I will let my mum blow my fans out in future, then she can hold all the fans still b4 using the blower,, cos that could be the reason hey????

plus I jump easy from sudden loud noises and I crack the underside of the desk with my knee, so shocks like that dont help matters with my system being on my desk.
