Aurora R5 Vibrating Sound?
So I've had my R5 since January and ever since getting it on and off I keep getting a vibration sound coming from deep inside. Pretty stuck as what to do. Have opened up the sides and checked. Tightened areas of the case and checked the fans. I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

Vertical 3.5in HDD Mount. Just started one day on my Aurora-R6. Pushing in on it fixed it. Never had a Toshiba HDD before but I guess they like to vibrate. Good thing it has a 3-year warranty.
But yeah, could be anything. Side Cover or anything that snaps-in is suspect.

Cracked Fan housing or Optical Drive can make noize like that. Power supply fan can also be the issue.

I don't have liquid cooled. I have read about some issues with the PSU that others have had where the fan can be over the the top for no reason which mine also happens to do but that doesn't seem to be the source of the noise.

usually if you can hear Vibrations then you can feel it with your Finger. try to touch Fan Frame, GPU, Power Supply or Hard Disk carefully. don't grab it by a covfefe like 45 would do.

Finally found it. It was the HDD mount! Moving certain parts of the mount on it stops the noise. Will have to figure out a more permanent solution mind.
