Hey guys,
So recently I built a new PC using the In Win 805 glass + aluminum PC case and while it looks great, there are some weird vibration noises coming from the case.
The build is as follows:
Case: In Win 805
Case fans: four Noctua NF-F12 120mm fans total; (1 on exhaust, 1 on CM 212 EVO, 2 intake)
[Low noise adapter (limits to 1200rpm) equipped on all fans in the system]
PSU: EVGA 750W-P2 Platinum Power Supply
CPU: i7-6700K (stock, no OC)
GPU: Intel HD 530 (Waiting on GTX 1080)
RAM: G.skill TridentZ 16GB (2x8GB) 2800Mhz
Motherboard: Asus VIII Maximus Hero
Storage: 256GB Samsung 830 SSD
I've actually been having issues with vibration/pulsating droning noise for this case for a few weeks now since I got it. Even after replacing every fan with supposedly quiet Noctua NF-F12s, the case still has this weird vibrating/ pulsating droning sound. I've checked to make sure everything is screwed on right, PSU is in ECO mode so the fan is off on that all the time since without a GPU the system never draws enough to start the fan anyway.
The CPU fan is run usually around 500rpm, rear exhaust about 450rpm, and the two intake fans are synced at 350rpm. CPU is 35C. These are idle measurements, and also when the droning noise is pretty obvious. CPU is NOT overclocked, leaving it at stock until I can figure out this annoying sound.
I went as far as to putting foam in the top of the case without any success. Something weird I found was if there was an object (eg my iPhone 5s) resting on top of the case the strange noise goes away. I thought the fans had hit the case's resonance frequency but playing with fan speeds didn't get me anywhere, its all solved by putting a phone/ipad/some sort of weight on top of the case.
To be clear, I have no idea where the vibration/pulsating droning noise is coming from. I'm hoping theres a solution to the issue rather than having to put something on top of the PC case at all times just to avoid the weird droning noise.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.
