I had some quite bad rattling going on with my CM Sickleflow fan. I didn't keep the receipt so I can't return it.
Decided to use gravity in my favor, put the fan on the top of the case as opposed to the rear. It seems to work, but now I have to plug it into the 4 pin header on the motherboard.
It seems to be running at a lower speed. Like, when it was blowing out the back, it was enough to blow my hair about haha. Why is this?
Also, in ET6, the mobo is registering a CPU fan and a System fan, along with RPM. It didn't do this before as it was plugged in via Molex.
I thought 3 pin fans couldn't be controlled or even seen with out the 4th PWM pin? Seems strange. Can I control it? Read somewhere that some motherboards control 3 pin fans via voltage.
