Hi,
Pretty much the title says it all, for a long time of perseverance I've accepted that my front PC case fan makes a grinding noise only on a cold boot. However I've came to a point where I am sick of this noise and really want to search for a fix. I've taken a read on the internet but I can only find this issue happening to CPUs fans or their optical drive. However I'm 100% certain it is my front PC case fan because if I take my front case cover off and lightly place my finger on the centre of the fan, the noise stops. The noise then repeats when I let my finger off the centre of the fan. The noise does eventually stops a few minutes after the boot, however I'd like to fix this due to the pure frustration and confusion it causes for me.
Hopefully someone can help me out here, maybe it's a fan bearing or something?
Appreciate everybody who tries to help me out here, thanks!
