So my PSU fan is working completely fine when it comes to cooling. It doesn't turn on while the system is under 20% load and works fine as soon as I run a couple of benchmarks.

But for some reason the fan started to make a clicking noise while it was not running, I looked at it from the side and about every 10 seconds it moves a tiny little bit and then stops again.
Generally I wouldn't mind this since it works totally fine when the PSU gets hot, but the clicking noise is kinda starting to freak me out.


I recorded like 20 seconds of it so you get an idea of what I mean.
Video (The noise might not be loud enough but the movement should be clearly visible)

Corsair Link doesn't detect any flaws and the fan control works fine. Is there no other option then RMAing it? Right now I just fixed it to the lowest possible RPM since the noise it makes is hardly even noticeable.
