Just wondering if anyone else has similar? I'm assuming it's the CPU Cooler

It may well be the case fans at the front actually, we've had a few guys who've bought the same case say exactly the same thing.

Unfortunately, it turns out the fans can't be controlled by the motherboard, so they're a fixed speed.

In the long term, if it bothers you enough, you may look to upgrading the fans to Corsair ML's or LL's which are much quieter, plus you can fit 140mm fans instead of the included 120 which would improve airflow as well as further reduce noise.
