I am using this power supply: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100b10500kr , and this case: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cougar-case-solution . Right now, I have the fan facing down, because the case has a vented bottom that appears to be made for the intake fan to face down. But when I turn on the PC, I hear the sound of metal hitting metal with every rotation of the fan. I know it is coming from the intake fan, because the noise stops as soon as pressure is removed from the back of the case. In other words, if I pick the case up, or lay it on its side, there is no noise. When I stand the PC up, and its weight is put on the bottom of the case, the noise starts again. Should I just flip the psu upside down? If not, how do I stop this?
