I am not sure if this is your problem ... but my blades were hitting ever so slightly. I tweaked them a bit and they quieted right down.

Is the fan clogged with dust? It may be struggling to work properly if it is.

You could always peel back the sticker in the middle and put a dab of lubricant on there and see if that cures it as well.

dont know about rattling noises but a grinding type noise means you've got a busted bearing in the fan. I've got a comp I'm working on right now with one of those. Ahh wouldnt it be great if we could just have passive cooling

get a VIA C3 Proccessor it would prolly do good with passive cooling

maybe the store won't,but you should be able to rma it directly to the manufacturer,unless it's too expensive for shipping considering where you live?
