Hey guys, please have mercy on me...I'm very new to this and need to be treated as a 7 year old. I have a horrible grinding noise coming from the fans on top of my case. I have never touched the inside of my PC and was hoping someone could explain how I would investigate this and fix it. I don't think I can post a pic on here (might be missing how to do that), and it's hard for me to explain what I see.
Basically 2 tubes are coming down off this double fan deal on top of the case. Those tubes connect to some cylinder looking thing that is connected to whatever (MB?). I'm guessing I will have to unscrew the fan case from top, but I'm afraid of pretty much anything after that. Will I need to unhook these tubes or take that cylinder thing off (certainly hope not).
Finally, can someone point me to how I can control these damn fans? There was a digital touch screen that is absolutely worthless, and the fan control knob on top of case just controls one fan down by the HDDs. I couldn't slow these top ones down if I wanted, and honestly I can't be 100% sure it's the fans since I can't stop them to see if grinding stops.
Thanks for any help
