The case fan is pulling air out of the case.

Hi guys, I have noticed my PC making rattling sounds in the past couple weeks. It sounded like coming from the CPU Cooler (Deepcool GAMMAXX GT black top), and this time I managed to shoot a video when it's doing it. Link to video The sound isn't always there, even if I recreate the same scenario. And the noise is gone once the fan speed changed. This leads me to think it's caused by some kind of resonance. Also, when the CPU fan is running at full speed (1650rpm), I can feel it's trembling, and I can even feel some vibration from the graphics card's back plate. Should I tighten the CPU cooler screws? I can still turn them tighter just with my finger, but I am worried that I will over tighten them and damage the mobo. I am not sure what's the issue here, so I am hoping you guys can point me to the right direction. Thanks!

Taobao's premium branch TMall started a free shipping trial to Australia. Maybe they will have free shipping to Canada one day. LOL

What do you guys think about the comments on YouTube about Linus? I am curious.

yea, everything made in China will explode, right? lol, you should post that Jackie Chan meme here. Not sure if you are serious or not. With that random "90+" icon, I'd say probably don't buy this one. But being a Chinese grown up in China, my experience tells me that even though their product may seem dodgy when it comes to packaging, it maybe totally legit inside. One thing that I know for sure is not to judge a book by its cover when you are shopping at a market like this. Sure, if you are not an expert like Scotty, don't buy from brands you don't know, but some of those non-branded or randomly branded products are actually manufactured by the same factory using same standard as other big brand product. It's just bad branding that's all.

do you have solid proof or is that just what you think?

Yea, I am seriously considering getting 1600+B350 then use the spare cash to get a 1070 or even a 1070Ti since the GPU price seem to be dropping now.

Okay, ASUS is a bit expensive down here in Australia, but ASRock is good value. I will consider this when I finally get to build it.

Hoping those mobo manufacturers are not that dumb and didn't put any protection there. I mean, overclocking on a B350 board is not that uncommon. I remember the Athlon XP days, you only buy a AMD cpu because you wanna overclock, LOL.

Wow, you scare me now. I've been watching buildzoid's video for B350 PCBs, there are a few boards that supposely can handle Ryzen 5. I think it should work for now. But I may consider buying 2600X for the XFR (I know, B350 lacks XFR2 support) just in case I don't wanna push it too hard. The stories you heard, they only involve the mobo right? it's not like the whole computer just went up in flames, right...?

Wouldn't 10 power phase for a 6 core Ryzen be overkilled? I mean, of course the more the better, but I've been watching quite a few of mobo PCB breakdown videos from Buildzoid, he always say that. So right now, I am considering 2 B350 mobo from ASRock, the AB350M Pro4 mATX and the AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac Mini ITX.

Yes, but a lot of people are saying if I wanna get the juice out of a 1600/2600, I'm better with a X370. While I am aware that VRM is an important factor for OC, it seems like the better B350 boards has decent VRM for Ryzen 5. After all, it's a 6core not a 8core like R7. In regards to BIOS, B350 generally seems to have less feature for OC (according to YouTube video, I don't have personal experience with B350 mobo, neither do people I know), but does that 100Mhz really matter that much?

Yea, I am aware of the BIOS thing, will ask the retailer to update that for me for free. Most of the shops I am looking at do prebuild system, so plug a Ryzen 1 into my mobo and update shouldn't be too much of a trouble for them.

What about a X370? X370 is a lot cheaper than X470 at the moment. And I want a mATX or ITX form factor (I know, it make things harder), and the only X470 option as of now is the ASUS ROG which will set me back a hefty AU$313. Whereas a X370 ITX mobo from ASRock is only AU$189, and it comes with Wi-Fi and Intel Gbyte network all that good stuff as well.

Well, I guess I should really go for the ZEN+ then. In this case, should I stick with the B350 mobo? Or should I upgrade that to X470 as well? (100bucks extra to go for X470 atm). Someone suggested me to go with 2600+X470 for better overclocking. Thoughts?
