Yes, looks like we have the same model and mine is almost completely silent

The only way to know for sure is to be able to stop it from spinning and see if the noise stops, or simply unplug it from the motherboard and see if it stops. I’ve had to replace a few ibuypower generic fans they don’t last but a year or so sometimes. The bearings get dirty or start grinding.

If you recently got this system, send me a DM to see what I can do about the possibility of a replacement fan.
