domdomdom Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 When I play videogames the main fan at the top of the machine starts to buzz, and not just the normal noise from it going faster, this is definitely something rettling. I can make it stop by lightly squeezing/rocking the case but then it normally comes back after a minute. I popped the lid open to see if the fan was screwed down properly and the 4 screws fixing the fan in place are nice and tight so no problem there. I couldn't see anything else wrong. Has anyone else had this problem/know how to fix it? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees Corsair Alan Posted November 17, 2017 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 17, 2017 Hi domdomdom, Were you able to check the fan cable? I always feel that maybe the culprit. I'm hoping its not the fan itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domdomdom Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Hi Alan, yes I took a look at the cable, it seemed fine and neatly tied. So do you think it could be rattling against something? What do you think I should do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizza_lover Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I'm assuming the fan is the standard corsair version that can be installed from the TOP So either you can order a replacement or maybe corsair is nice enough to send a free replacement IF ITS EASY TO INSTALL Good luck none the less, im sure a employee will help u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees Corsair Alan Posted November 20, 2017 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 20, 2017 At idle, is it still rattling? If the noise is coming from the fan bearing then we would need to send the unit in for service/repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dartmin Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Nope - looks like Corsair will not send simple fans for faults -you have to RMA the whole machine - bit daft really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power up the unit with the lid and top fan removed (leave them connected), if the noise is still coming from the fan. I'll try to arrange a replacement fan for you.
