case rattle

millerb415 · August 23, 2016

i just got a master case maker and i notest that my H110i rattles a lot in the top position especially when the cpu is under load and the temps go up. i was wondering if getting some different fans would help and if so what fans should i get?

What part of the cooler does the noise come from? Rattling sounds more like pump noise to me.

the rattled is coming from the top of the case where the fans and the rad are that is why i was thinking it was the fans. also the rattle does not increase as the pump increases but as the fans increase i already checked to see if it was the pump.

Sounds like you might not have had something secured well enough. Either the fan is loose on the radiator, or the radiator is loose on the chassis, so check both. Make sure as well that the screws have good purchase in the mounting holes. If the mounting holes look only a little larger than the screw heads, you may need to get some washers from your local hardware store.

Edited to add: if you have the radiator mounted in pull -- the fan between the radiator and the chassis, try changing it around, or, again, get washers for the screws to ensure you can get things secured well enough.
