Hey guys,
I was installing 2 fans onto the side panel window today and when I plugged them in there seemed to be a terrible whining noise coming from both fans...
I unscrewed them from the case and plugged them into the headers and the whining was gone...
The fans I am using are Corsair AF120 120mm Performance Edition fans.
I also tried 2 Corsair SP120 Quiet Edition fans which had the same effect.
If I lower the RPM the noise starts to go away but then I'm losing performance. Even on the lowest RPM setting the AF120's still have noticeable whine.
I have AF120s installed on other parts of my case and I have 2 SP120s on my H100i and I have never heard any whine from them whatsoever...
Is it something to do with the side panel window that is causing the fans to whine? Are the fans broken possibly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading
