BrentJohn Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hey everone! This is my first post. About a month ago, I purchased the Corsair TR3X6G1866C9DF 6GB kit with airflow fan. Until a few weeks ago, or maybe longer than that, the fan makes a very annoying buzzing sound at high speeds. I've tried everything from setting the speed settings in the BIOS to Silent to switching to different connectors in the motherboard with no luck. Well, I'll set the mode to Silent in the BIOS and it'll be quiet until Windows boots up. An interesting speculation I found was that when I connected the fan but not attach the airflow unit to the RAM, the buzzing stopped when I have it on a certain angle. :confused: So I know the buzzing sound is coming from the fans itself and not because of poor attachment to the RAM. Anybody help me please? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 16, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 16, 2009 The fan will not be completely silent, however if it seems louder than it should be then lets get it replaced! Please use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace it. Be sure to check the box that says “I've already spoken to Technical Support and/or RAM Guy.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrentJohn Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Thanks! Just for the record, the airflow fan is NOT required to keep it stable, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 16, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 16, 2009 I believe they are tested with the fan, so in some cases the extra cooling that the fan provides may help the memory to run at its tested speeds, however in most cases I would suspect that the fan would not be required in order to run at the tested settings.
