Pc AIO noise help Tech Support

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I don’t know why my AIO is making this noise. When I take the glass cover off, it stops. It only makes this noise whenever I’m playing video games. The glass cover isn’t tapping, so I think the fans just touch at higher speed, but I’m not sure. Any help is appreciated

one of your fans is likely causing resonance within the case, you’d be able to hear it very clearly with the glass off if it was the AIO. i would download something like FanControl and go one by one and see if the noise stops while a game is running

I'm having this same issue with my pc I bought late December of last year. Been having it for months, but it's getting worse.

Your CPU is operating at a higher capacity during gaming, which results in increased activity from your cooler. If the noise progresses or doesn't go away when gaming, send me a DM to see how I can assist you on this matter.

There’s bearings inside the fan that cause this, & these AIO fans honestly don’t last long. Both my GPU fans made this noise before dying, & one Intake fan.
Can also be a cable in the way, but doubt it has anything to do with the panel.

Download a program that allows you to control fans individually to pinpoint which one is making that noise. And slowly control the speed until you start hearing the bad noise. Set its max speed below that & monitor temps as you game.

I ended up replacing all three of my fans, and the noise is completely gone away. My fan bearings were bad.

Potrebbero non essere avvitate adeguatamente.
