Crossfire fan issues

[NutterzUK]

Hi,
So... I have a msi X58M motherboard, with crossfire 6850s in.
The fan for these cards is on the bottom as usual, and blows out the sides and the back. Because of the weight of the top one, the fan touches the card below. I have been wondering for some time where on earth the fan sound is coming from as I have 7 fans around my case... and finally found it.

For now, i've fixed it by folding a small piece of paper up and placing it between the cards, but really... this shouldn't be happening.

Has anyone else had this issue, and is there a better fix anyone can think of?

Thanks,
Steve

Unscrew all the card fasteners that secure the card in the case and then realign the cards in such a manner that the top card doesn't touch the bottom
You really should be able to do this, this is the first time I've ever heard of this

I'll try. It's in a CM690 case, with the quick releases on. I will see what I can do to re-align it.

Thanks,

I took the card out, and found that actually what happened was that the sticker on the fan of the top card, had started to peel away, so it was half off. This, spinning around on the fan will have been making the noise.

Simple solution, take the sticker off and stick it on my case .

Thanks!
