Hello everyone,
I've had this issue for quite a while and wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this and or knows a way to fix it.
So, about 2 months ago I bought 3 BeQuiet! SilentWings 3 PWM High-Performance BL070 case fans for my new PC build, they were brand new and were purchased from a local retail seller online, after a month or so, one of the 3 fans started making a horrid noise, akin to trapped air in a radiator, gurgling every time I turn on my PC, it does go away after 20 seconds or so, but it can periodically reappear after using the PC, and every time I hear it, it makes me think that it's about to light itself on fire from how much it is struggling.
I think that it's an issue with the PWM part as I have set the fans to work at 20-30% it is audible but at start I think the fan really struggles to start cause without the side panel on I can see it just jittering back and forth while making that horrible noise until it starts to spin up and the sound goes away, somehow none of the other fans have this problem and it's always that one single fan making that noise.
I have tried setting the fans to DC mode but that didn't really help, so I don't really know what it could be, maybe the chassis fan connector on the motherboard is borked but when I switch the connector from 1 fan to the other the same fan makes the sound, and the sound only happens when I boot it up for the first time in the morning/day, otherwise than that it doesn't really make that sound, apart from doing it in random intervals, I've been recommended by others to just have a warranty replacement, but that would also take time and money to send it out to my country's capital where the company I bought it from has it's warehouses and base of operations.
I'll include a link to a video of the sound the fan makes when I turn it on.
No the fans aren't interfering with any wires, than it would sound more like a grinding noise, not gurgling.
