I noticed recently that the rear external fan of my power supply is making a soft "fluttering" noise. I dusted the fan and the case to see if that stopped the noise, but it did not. I also took of the screen off the fan cleaned each blade with a cotton swab. However, the noise continues. I am not sure if I should be concerned since it is a soft noise. You can barely hear it over the sound of the other 8 fans in my case.
I have uploaded two videos of the fan to YouTube. In the video it sounds more like a clicking. The blades are not making contact with any wires. The video quality stinks because I used my cell phone with the machine in my desk [You can hear it best at 20 seconds+]. None the less, you can hear the "fluttering/clicking".
So is this normal or is my fan on the way to its grave? Thanks.
