Reduce fan vibration?

My computer is making a vibratey noise and I believe its from the front fan.
Its a cooler master 430 elite, and as soon as I apply some pressure with a finger to the case this noise stops.

im right in my assumption yes?
And any ideas how to stop it? Its quite noisy actually! This was the fan that came preinstalled into the case

Maybe time to change the fan. Some fans go out of balance with use and once they do, they can be pretty noisy.

I bought the case two days ago..?

THe fan is rattling the whole case!

Can u take the fan out while still connected to the case? If you can, put it up on glass surface and turn it on. If it is severely out of balance it will start "walking".
Before you do this tho, make sure it is tightly secured to the case at all four screws. The screws may be loose causing some vibration.
