Go to solution Solved by Jeroen1322,

Can you isolate exactly what is causing the buzzing?

 

 

Do you have the version with the fan on the panel? try removing it completely or just unplugging it and see what happens.

 

 

Guys i'm a complete total F'ng idiot.. Just woke up and saw that my R4 was against my metal desk leg... Moved it a little and the buzzing stoped.. 

 

Still thanks for the reply's! :)

Hi guys!

 

So, i have the Fractal Design Define R4 and i'm very happy with it, best case i ever had! BUT there is one thing.. The door is making a buzzing sound. It is not loud but loud enough to irritate me.

 

When i push the door when open a little bit down the buzzing stops. I have also replaced the stock fan from the bottom to the top fan mount on the front side but didn't help..

 

 

How do i fix this?

 

Thanks!
