My fan doesn't seem to suffer that ailment, but having dug up my older custom PCs I have other fans I can try now, so I will be investigating that also.

Heat pipes seem to be all the rage now, but I'm not convinced...I think I'd prefer a large heatsink with lots of thin fins radiating from the CPU foot print, but I guess that's a sign of the times with coolers needing to be elevated above the increasingly crowded motherboard.
