Hello!
I hope I have posted this in the right place, but was hoping for some help with the following...
I bought this OCUK system about 6 months ago: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...zen-5-2600-rx-590-8gb-graphics-fs-1aq-og.html
I have noticed that when the computer is working at its maximum (i.e. running certain games on high settings), a loud vibrating noise comes from the back of the PC (where the motherboard meets the case).
It seems to be as the CPU fan kicks up a gear the vibrating starts. I've taken the side panel off and tried my best to find the actual source but it's difficult to isolate.
One thing I have noticed is that the big power cable that goes to the motherboard goes from the motherboard and through a hole towards the side panel and then is cable tied down the side to the bottom of the case. The cable seems quite taut and if i push it up a little to give it some slack i've noticed the vibrating stops.
Does this sound like it could be the reason for the vibrating? I don't really want to go inside the computer as i'm worried i'll mess something up.
Thanks
