[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1378942, member: 38928"] That not really a good thing. I've been building, repairing and maintaining PCs and more recently Macs for over 20 years now. What happens with fans over time is they start to spin off centre and that's the noise you hear. Then they wear down the mounting as they spin and the noise stops, but the fan is now looser and not positioned correctly. It's only a matter of time before the fan fails and or jams where it has too much freedom of movement. I'd suggest replacing it sooner rather than later. [/QUOTE]
