I'm struggling to narrow down and identify the source of a fan related noise I'm getting.
I've tried different fans in the same case fan location and they always end up noisy after a certain speed, and it's not just wind noise it's like a slight rattle, hard to explain.
I'm wondering if it's either the case or the mounting style, it's a Lian Li case and it uses those same rubber grommets that you use on HDDs to slide them into mounting cut outs. You screw the grommets in and then slot the fan into it's mount in the top of the case.
Or I guess the other possibility is that it is air noise going through the vent, but it's like no air noise I've ever heard if it's that, it sounds more mechanical to me IMO.
