got a problem with my AF140 fan when exhausting

[beasty6]

hey guys,

so ive got a corsair AF140 in the roof of my cm storm trooper case as a exhaust, now when its at full speed it vibrates my case but i have noticed that when i push the centre of the fan slightly, it goes away and it seems that the fan blades are hanging down abit if that makes sense.

all fans have a slight movement in the middle but surely it shouldn't cause this? if i mount the fan as intake its fine, only when the blades are facing down, anything i can do to fix this or is it a case of need another fan?

thanks

Exact same problem as one of my AF120s. Have 2 of them mounted as exhausts in the roof of my 300r . One of them runs like a dream while the other makes noise after a certain RPM. If I press up on the center of the fan then the noise goes away, leave go and it returns immediately. The other AF120 is perfect. I have contacted Corsair regarding a replacement.
