themadtux Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I recently bought some 140mm RGB Riding fans for a new system I'm building. All's quiet save for one that makes a loud clicking noise while it's running. It still runs fine but the clicking can grate at the nerves. Is there anything that I can do to remedy this issue? I will follow this up with a link to a video of the sound one I get back home.On a side not is there something I'm missing with the controller for the fans? I shut the machine down and the color settings I have set aren't saving. Any suggestions? EDIT: Here's a link to a video of the fan: https://youtu.be/M-sygEBK2TU Thanks!-Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadtux Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 BUMP! Anything on any of the issues I have? The clicking or the fact that when I power off the machine the fans do not save their state? I've tried multiple Riing fan hubs that come with them.

Breadmash Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Hey dude, as far as I have read it looks like some motherboards don't supply enough power from the 4pin fan header to keep the colour settings, so connecting with a Molex to 4 pin power seems to solve the issue (in most cases) Regarding the click.. that should be an RMA issue.. that's dreadful. Inspect the fan, see if any fan blades look like there's something wrong, and maybe inspect the area for interference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much appreciated. I'll do that and see how it goes. Yeah the fan drives me crazy.... I'll have to see what I can do ... I picked it up quite a while ago so I think an RMA is not a doable thing.
