    [SOLVED] Loud whirring noise from fan and electrical buzzing

    Okay, think i figured it out. The cpu fan is the one rattling, so maybe it was also the one making the loud noise at startup? the buzzing sound seems to be from the hard drive

    [SOLVED] Loud whirring noise from fan and electrical buzzing

    When it's running I cant narrow down the sound at all, is there a way i can stop a fan from spinning for a moment to see if it's the culprit?

    [SOLVED] Loud whirring noise from fan and electrical buzzing

    I just opened my case up and pushed all the fans, the top fan i can push upwards and it hits the grill making a noise, is that normal or should it not be doing that?

    [SOLVED] Loud whirring noise from fan and electrical buzzing

    Okay, I'll figure out which fan it is and try replacing it. Would the buzzing noise be coming from a fan and not the PSU?
