Case fan making weird noise.

I upgraded my system recently to much more powerful hardware and I noticed now one of my case fans is making a weird noise when it's at high RPMs. It sounds kinda like a grinding noise, is the fan dying?

Is the fan new? If not the bearing is probably going out and you will need to replace it. If it is new, then chances are you isn't tight enough and you are hearing it vibrating against the case.

I tried this and actually it does stop if I press on the frame.
