Aurora R8, buzzing noise (front fan?)

Hi @ehance, is your R8 with liquid cooled CPU? The buzzing noise sounds more like the CPU pump. Or a wire caught by fan blades.

If you're comfortable with working with the inside of your R8, you can try disconnecting the fans and the liquid cooler pump (if liquid cooled) one by one while the machine is on to determine which one is causing the buzzing sound.

do you want to fix it> or others,

did you even open the case see if fans frames are loose.

and even find true and exact location of a noise,  you can even pull the power lead to it for 1 to 10 seconds to see if the fan stops making BAD noises, all fans make noise but some are bad .

bad fan , wires touch  blades

the fan is loose

the bearings in the fan are bad, all fans END HERE< every one.

you did not buy a real silent PC and if you did would be broke, for those.

less noise SURE.

to find noise find true source first that takes hands on work and I cant do that in a text box.

did you ever use a stethoscope, even that $5 sold in all autostores,  amazing thing to own. for all things that make noise and cant find exact spot,  touched to fan casing OMG this thing is bad, or NOT.

and takes SKILLs. to gain skills practice on the good things first. to learn what is good and bad.

I can not tell you what good sounds like in text box.

but does not sound like this (my joke)

a hdd sounds like this, powered on but way more quiet.  a fan will purr.

and better this joke.

or barking up wrong tree, or gee it's too hot and fans solve that by spinning faster.

I once had to sleep in my basement  to find out my silly water heater had a bad pressure relive valve.

sounded (random 1 per day and only at 2am) like screaming banchee, and GF was super scared.

sometimes you must do it yourself.  and  a cheap fix not $2000.
