Top fan (200mm) clicking - CM Storm Trooper

[Sidmouth]

I noticed this last week and again just now. The top fan has started to click, regardless of what fan speed you set it at. If you shutdown the pc or send it to sleep it is fine again on the re-start however I have noticed the clicking only appears after a session of gaming and the fan speeds are set to a higher speed for say an hour to an hour and a half.

The fan still works however and pulls air perfectly fine but of course the sound is annoying and I would prefer a new one.

Who would be the best to contact? Would I be able to get a replacement directly from coolermaster or should I order one through PC Specialist?

Thanks.

It might be the case that the fan is being obstructed by a cable, have you have a look inside?

I had a clean out of the inside last week and also had a good check of the cables and fans, and there didnt appear to be any obstructions.

I've just given the pc a restart and as explained above the clicking has gone and all four fans are running smooth again.

But after a period of time with the fans set at a faster speed, the problem re-appears.

I imagine something internal could be up? thats just a guess.
