PowerSpec G706 fan replacement
Hey all, I need a case fan (front bottom) replaced. It's vibrating and extremely loud under idle which from browsing the forums, looks like a common problem.

Cooler Master AIO pump making noise
I bought my Powerspec G436 in Feb 2021. The pump has been making a rattling noise for quite some time, very soon after I bought the PC.
