Corsair HAF 932 Adv. Whining and crying sidefan

[HeftyNugget]

I've built this PC about 3 years ago and since then it's been just perfect for the most part.

Few months ago I've noticed that my PC is making a sound that is similar to coil whine, so I've quickly went behind my PC and started listening to the sound my PSU makes... which was flat-out silent.
It didn't bug me that much because I was busy with university, so I didn't have time to investigate futher... but now it's driving me crazy and I've managed to locate the source of sound.

Turns out, my case's side-fan is making all that noise and I have no clue why and how to fix it.

Any ideas?

Replace the side fan.

Unplug the side-fan.

I'm right ahead of you - my GPU temps went instantly from 42'C to 60'C, I guess it's time to enable GPU fans instead.

GUESS I WON'T BE NEEDING ANY IMMEDIATE HELP AFTERALL, thanks guys tho.

For anyone aiming to get Corsair HAF932-Adv.. Don't f'in bother, Corsair makes terrible products - keycaps on their keyboards are unreadable after 4 months of usage and the PC case's stock fans are noisier than ancient PSU's coils.

The conclusion you drew from a noisy fan is that Corsair makes... bad keyboards because of their caps?

 

FWIW, the HAF product line is made by Cooler Master. http://www.coolermaster.com/case/full-tower/haf-932/

Not Corsair.

I love my HAF X (the same case basically). It’s a bloody nightmare to work in but once it’s done it’s amazing. I got it cheap too since they’re old. 6 years is about when a fan will go bad... they’re cheap components and cheap to replace. 

 

This is like saying your Ferrari is a crap car because the tire wore down over time

Any pc can be great! But you have to tune it perfectly.
