Hey guys,
I just put together a new build recently (<-- specs) and for the most part it's been good. Except for the front 200mm fan. For the first few days it's been great, but now the front 200mm fan is making some noise. It's not too loud, but it's noticeable. I'm sure you guys know the sound of bicycle wheels when you put a playing card on them, it sounds pretty much like that but to a smaller degree on a case fan. It's a little annoying, and I feel that it's impeding the air flow because when I look at the fan, it's doesn't seem like it's spinning smoothly. It's wobbling a little bit which gives the appearance of flickering lights, even thoughtt he white lights are solid.
Is there a solution to this? Or should I just get another 200mm fan to replace it? Or maybe contact Corsair?
I also have four 120mm fans on the way from NewEgg. I could just put two of those 120mm fans on the top for exhaust (I don't know if this will be better than one 200mm fan for exhaust), and then place the top 200mm fan to the front as intake?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
