Buzzing sound from fan with an object over it

[chrisronline]

Hey guys,

I've noticed my computer is making a slight buzzing sound when playing SWTOR. I narrowed the sound down to the fan on the top of my Silverstone Raven case, but I'm not sure if it's normal or not. Apparently, if I remove the top casing from my case, the sound isn't there and if I put my hand over the fan, the sound starts. I'm not exactly sure if this is to be expected or if there are any tips on resolving this.

I opened the case and tried to identify any cables near the fan, but the only cable is the one used to connect the fan to the MB which doesn't seem in the way.

I should note that this seemed to have started recently and the all the hardware was purchased less than a month ago.

Thanks for any help!

You could try pressing on the fan hub from underneath = could be loose from shipping.
This has worked for some people in the past.

Thanks for the reply

I went into the case and applied more pressure to the bottom part of the top fan and adjusted the cables slightly so they all were together and I'm not hearing the sound now.

Seems to have work, but I'll update again whether or not it continues to.

Thanks again
