Low frequency noise after changing case
Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2013 5:58 am
Hi,
I've just moved to a new case, from an Antec P183 to a Corsair 550D. Everything's gone fine except I can now hear a very quiet, low frequency noise like a fan slowly revving or case vibration.
It's not a loud noise but because my other components are so quiet (SSDs, low noise fans) it's quite noticeable.
I've disconnected the intake/exhaust fans and they don't seem to be the problem. The same with the CPU fan.
So I'm left with the Graphics Card & PSU. I'm leaning towards the PSU, as I've tried stopping the Graphics Card's fans and I can still hear the noise.
However, I'd love a second opinion before going ahead and getting the PSU RMA'ed.
Thanks, Paul
