What speed are they going at?
You could take em out and see if they have proper clearance from the fan cage, also see if none of the fans power cables are touching the blades.

i havent got a fan controller yet so im guessing they are running at full speed.

make sure the blades have clearance when they go round. Could be a lilttle bit of plastic hitting the side of the fan cage

Wasn't there some dodgy early Yate Loons with this problem?

I think from memory they used to be made in somewhere dodgy like Mexico and all the newer ones are made elsewhere now. Seem to remember in that people didn't use to recommend them for that reason.

How old are they?

im losing my mind as it seems to starts randomly and gets really annoying.

lol ya could do they only cost a few quid and seen as you've been on the forum for a while you'll get free delivery

The fact that it starts comes and goes randomly sounds more like a case issue with reverb
