H80i loud buzzing ??

[jamie_r]

I got a h80i a few months ago and it has been working fine , until just recently. It has been amking a really annoying buzzing sound from start up. i went in corsair link and turned down fans and it was still there, could it be the radiator or what ?
thanks

Are you certain it's not the fans making that noise(Something on the fans may of broke)

hmm , how would i check exactly ?
it makes a loud buzz then stops after a few minutes, stops for a few seconds and starts again.

Turn off the computer and unplug the fan. Turn it on and see if it makes the noise, if the noise is gone and never comes on you can presume it's the fan. Then plug it back in, be careful not to do anything crazy you don't want your cpu to overheat while nothing is cooling the radiator.

Or if you can, through a program turn off the fans entirely and listen.

Okay i tried that and randomly i unplugged it and the noise wasn't there hoever even when i plugged it back in , it still wasnt there, so im not sure , i think its ok for now however i will keep you updated

It's the fan I believe then, if you want the noise to stop you'll have to replace it or try to examine it and figure out if you can fix it (maybe bend it back? Not sure)
