Hi!
On Monday I purchased a new PC (I didn't assemble it myself) and noticed a really bothersome buzzing sound on that day.
Here is the video: http://sendvid.com/4fxqa1ij
After putting it back together and checking possible causes, I discovered the case fan was producing a buzzing noise.
There are two fans—one at the rear and one in front. The front fan was the source of the sound.
I suspected it might be due to a plastic or metal connection between the case and the fan. I removed the fan from the case, placed a mousepad on top, and it stopped making noise. Then I bought rubber screws: https://www.amazon.com/Cosmos-Pieces-Rub...B00H9905KA
That helped somewhat, but the sound remained (though quieter).
The final conclusion is that the fan itself was vibrating and causing the buzzing.

I’m wondering what else I can try before visiting a shop to fix it.
Thanks a lot.

CountMike is considering getting it repaired at the shop instead of using it.
Hi!
Your responses are appreciated.
I have already sent it to the store for a replacement.
