H50 making a slight clicking noise

panyan · 6 Oct 2011 at 19:22

i bought a H50 from here earlier this year, i used it in my uni build (in sig) which i completed a month ago and the h50 already seems to be making this clicking noise

the noise started happening last night, i turned off the rig hoping it would go away and today it has been making the clicking noise all day

i dont know whether i need to RMA, and if i do, should i do it with OCUK or straight with Corsair?

Will be Corsair that you need to deal with.
They are relatively quick (or at least where with my HS1 headset) but expect to be without a cpu cooler for 2 weeks as you must post to the Netherlands - So expect to pay some hefty p&p.

Or as it's still within the first year of purchase, deal directly with the retailer? :rolleyes:

Who tell you to go to Corsair as it is over 30 days old.
Smart ass.

Mine was doing this when my rig was working. Was a non issue as far as I was concerned and only kicked in when I was pushing it a bit.

RMA it to Corsair, their support is amazing, redbeard might pop on here, if not, get advice on the forums.

i think i have a plan...

1) remove the h50 and GT's

2) install my spare D-14 that i bought for EXACTLY this eventuality ( i love how anal i am about things sometimes

)

3) this is good becuase i was worried about having the h50 above my new gfx card anyway (and was even thinking about getting a silverstone sideways case!)

4) this also allows me to get rid of the back exhaust that was stopping me putting on my custom side panel

5) i will fit the top with exhaust fans

crisis -> good opportunity for improvement

EDIT:

- the GT's dont fit on the d-14 so it wont go with the colour scheme, but this is fine for a temp fix - better temps too

- the mushkin radioactive apparently fits under the d-14
