I noticed the fan on my NV Silencer 5 had been making a little more noise than usual. I have it set to 50% during 2D activity, but yesterday it sounded louder, like it was at 100%. Tonight it started roaring, like the bearing was falling apart. I touched the center of the hub and it quieted down for a bit. Seconds later it started making a racket again. I touched it again and it has been relatively quiet for now (about 5 minutes) but I have a feeling it's on its way out.
I'm planning to give Newegg a call tomorrow, as that's where I bought it. Hopefully they can give me a phone number for Arctic Cooling that's in the US if they don't replace it themselves. Anyone had one of these die on you? Who did you end up getting an RMA from?
