Artic Cooling Ceramic Bearings....

[swaaye]

I have a VGA Silencer cooler for my 9700. I've had it for about a year now I think. The warranty is 6 years. Well, the fabulous ceramic bearing sounds like it's worn all to hell already. It rattles quietly constanty, and on first power on it sounds positively awful. Has anyone else had a problem with these Artic Cooling ceramic bearings?

I emailed their support a day ago and no response yet lol.
