Question Lian Li fan rattling

[ASmithPC]

My Lian Li fan has been making a rattling noise for a few weeks. The fans aren’t hitting anything, and I took it apart to find that the rattling is from inside the fan. Any ideas what the cause is? I tried unscrewing the screws from inside the fan but they feel impossible to come loose.

many times it will just be bearings grinding from a malfunctioning fan.
not usually repairable.

if it was a newer item you could've returned it or opted for RMA through Lian LI.
but after dismantling, any warranty or retail return option would be void.

just replace it with something better.

Fair enough. Was trying too hard to fix it but I’ll just order a new one 👍
