I have had my system for around 8 months and everything has been good up until i moved into my new case around 6 weeks ago.

Moved into a 750D, since then, my tower is making a buzzing sound, originally i thought it was the door, so i contacted corsair who sent me a replacement, it still buzz'.

Then i thought it was the fans vibrating, i changed them and added sound proofing to stop the buzzing, it still buzz'. :(

Anything else i can try? Anyone had the same issue with a 750D?
 
That's what i have done :(

It seems smacking the side of the case makes the buzzing stop, although i can't keep doing that! :p
 
Do you have a CD Drive? Do you have mech hdds?

I do ye but there's no noise coming from that.

one of the side panels loose? I had an Antec 300 that produced the most annoying buzzing sound. I cured it in the end with a little strip of cardboard between the case and side panel at the rear, where the screws are.

Have checked both side panels, even with them off the buzzing still continues.

I have a feeling its my motherboard, after around 10-15 minutes it will power down, then when i start gaming or doing something intensive it kicks into life, i think that's what happening.
 
Something in there is vibrating against something else. If it's not the side panels, you need to use your fingers to put some pressure on everything in there that could be vibrating until you find the source of the problem. Then we can suggest a fix.

At a guess it will be something that moves, such as fans or hard drives. You might need some silicon washers on the drive mounts or somesuch.

I took care when putting the system together, all screws have rubber washers on them.

I can't put my hand inside when it's turned on can i?
 
small update, spent last night taking all the fans out, and disconnected the HDD's as they are only storage, still buzzing :/
