Horrendous Noise

[Corey0808]

Well I took my GF3 out of my computer today and decided to apply some AS to the heatsink and processor to make it run cooler. I'm having this problem though.. When I put everything back together the fan makes this awful noise. I made sure it doesn't touch any wires or anything at all and I can't seem to figure out what is making the noise. It almost seems like it's something IN the fan assembly. Please help.

You could have screwed the fan by pressing it. Sleeve bearing fans are fragile. Looks like it might be time for a 3rd party cooler, dude. :frown:
