Moved my PC with MasterLiquid Lite 120 while it was powered on - now it rattles.

Not sure what's going on here. I pulled my PC out of my desk cubby, while it was powered on, to unplug the HDMI cable and plug it back in, since my RX 470 4GB wouldn't come out of monitor sleep mode.

That means, the PC was moved about two feet out, and then tipped with the front downward.

The MasterLiquid Lite 120mm was attached to the rear exhaust fan, in a push config.

The rattling goes way, if I press in on the spindle of the fan attached to the rad.

But the fan has noise-isolation gaskets on all four corners. I tried hand-tightening the four long screws holding it into the rad.

I fear that the bearing got bumped, and now the fan is slightly falling back into the rad, and the spindle on that end of the fan is hitting the rad?

It's really weird. And annoying. The PC used to be mostly silent.

what happens if you shim up the front of the PC slightly?

Well, no amount of "fiddling" on my part seemed to make it go away, but I just put the PC back in place, and after a while, it simply quieted down on it's own. *shrug*. WFM.

Larry, have you had frequent problems with that 470 not coming out of sleep mode? Win10? I've had problems with my 480 for over 6 months. Seems to happen with new drivers notifications in Radeon settings program. Sometimes it is fixed with new drivers being installed but it usually comes back.

Ctrl-alt-del usually wakes the monitor up, get you to task manager (this is in win7).
