Purchased new fx-8350 with with stylish looking cooler couple months ago.

When it has few load, when temperature goes above 50c it makes peculiar sound like 'Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr' its annoying the hell out of me. it must be because of fan. its bit loose in heat sink, it slides up and down a bit.(I thought it was normal for the first time)

i'm worried if its vibrating a bit can do harm on my cpu as well. I even changed mine chassis fan thinking the sound was coming from that not my brand new cpu cooler fan.

is there anyway I can adjust/fix this sliding fan? its looks like impossible to remove that fan

If it's vibrating that badly it could be a faulty off balance fan. Pretty sure that's enough reason for a return/exchange depending on where you bought it from. I would not bother trying to figure out how to fix something that is brand new.

Standard 92mm fan inside that frame block mate - can be changed very easily.

Return period is over. so if anyway if i can remove those side frame like above picture it'll be easier to see fault in it. can't find any instructions or video on how to remove those side frame.

How do you do this?, or where did you find this info I am currently experiencing the same problem with my brand new wraith cooler i got with my 6350, Apart from this noise you can also see the light panel for the AMD logo as slid out of place (I didn't even know it had one until i looked for solutions to my problems ) thanks in advance =)
