Hey all,

I have a CM Storm Sniper case, had it for about 5 years, and lately the top fan (I believe it's a 200mm but I could be wrong) has started to make a noise. Hard to explain the sound, it's more of a "whirring" sound instead of a "whining" sound. When I get inside the case and push up on the center of the fan, it stops making the noise for a bit, but eventually it starts again.

I'm assuming something is going bad with the fan and it just needs replacement, but I wanted to ask before I buy and install a new one.

Thanks!

That sounds to me to be an indication that the bearing is failing and you will want to address it since it will only get worse
