StevePearson Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I installed my dominator RAM (2 x 1Gb) about 12 months ago, along with the AirFlow fan unit. Just before Christmas I started to get a typical fan bearing failing noise that I traced to one of the fans in the AirFlow unit. The noise only happened when the machine was first switched on, and only lasted for about 5 minutes. I arranged a replacement via my supplier (had to send unit and RAM back as it was a kit) and received new kit a few days later. All installed, powered up and there was silence, great I thought. That was about 3 weeks ago. After about a week, the same noise stated to come back again, and its now as bad as before, if not worse! Again it only lasts for about 5 minute when the machine is first switched on, but its loud enough to drownd out a phone conversation! Could I just be unlucky and have received a faulty replacement? Any advice would be apriciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 12, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 12, 2008 Have you tried plugging the fan into a different header on the motherboard? If you would like to just have the fan replaced, please use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xombie Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Exact same thing happened to me. Maybe there have been a few bad batches recently...? Tell me how the RMA goes. I have 2 defective AirFlow fans sitting next to me that I'd like to have replaced - preferably through Corsair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 13, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 13, 2008 Xombie, you can use the link above to get the fans replaced. Keep in mind that the fans are designed with overclocking and performance in mind, and are not designed to be silent by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
