    Well today I was doing my usual desktop related tasks and I noticed the fan was ramping up a lot...and when it did...it was LOUD. It got annoying to say the least, but I figured the room was just so much more quiet than usual that I was noticing things I would not have otherwise noticed.

    I haven't had my NZXT cooler plugged in for a while now, but I decided to flip it on and see if it would prevent the fan from ramping up so much. Than...all of a sudden WHOOOSH the NZXT flared to life louder than I have ever seen it.

    This seems like a voltage related issue...is it my outlet or the power brick possibly? I am having trouble pin pointing it.
