The fan in question is a Cooler Master 12cm SickleFlow System Fan which is part of pair attached to my Corsair H100 Hydro system. The fan will rattle when above 1500 RPM and also recently has begun doing so 1500 and below. It is doing it now almost like a occasional tickle. The fan is connected to the ASST_FAN1 on my Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2 motherboard and according the manual this one of 2 non PWM assistant fans.
Now the my main problem is this is the third fan of the same make in the same port to start rattling. In fact this one is less than a month old. So I am pretty certain this fan doesn't like where it is plugged into. Now can someone suggest a fan that would work and even though it isn't a deal breaker could also be a Green LED to match the other SickleFlow which is plugged in the CPU_OPT port and been fine since July 2014.
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Just so you know I am able to adjust the fan speed purely by using Al Suite software that works with my motherboard. No fan controller is installed.
