Yesterday I had to remove the back panel of my PC to clean the filters (NZXT H510i case). After reinstalling it, I noticed unusual noises during startup and randomly at about the 3-second mark. I think the sound comes from the fans, but I’m not certain. I checked for visible wires blocking the fans and didn’t find any. It seems cleaning might have disturbed dust onto the fans or caused an imbalance, leading to the noise. I’d appreciate a second opinion on this. There’s a shortage of canned air nearby, and I can get more if needed. I plan to clean everything as soon as possible. Please respond to this thread... 20220522_134802.mp4
