Can someone confirm that the fan motor is making this noise when my fans are on? To me, it looks like motor noise since it disappears the second I turn the power to the fans off (0:34), before the fan stops spinning (thus probably ruling out vibration?). Apologies for the poor recording, but it is still obvious which noise I'm talking about.
The fans ramp up to 1000 RPM when on, the lowest setting ASUS AI Suite allows with these fans. These fans are easily the loudest part right now, even at 1000 RPM, so I'm considering replacing them.
EDIT: OK, yeah, I just put the two fans on separate fan headers and one has a sound like there's gravel in it while the other is pretty good.
My reasoning was that the air from the CPU cooler would help create airflow inside the PSU while the fan is off, but I personally can't keep the temperature low enough that the PSU fan stays off (props to SilverStone though, the fan is very quiet at idle). I'd reverse it so it pulls air from the outside.

Nice build. So the consensus is to have the PSU mounted so that it pulls air from inside the case? Also, do the grills that come with the case have a purpose or just for show?
