When the PC is off, if you open or remove the glass side panel, do any of the three fans (the square frame, not the blades themselves) feel looser than the others?

The manual is here:

Corsair Crystal 680X RGB Review

The Corsair Crystal 680X is the grown-up version of their 280X chassis. This bigger variant can not only hold a full-size system, but also offers better liquid-cooling support, comes with four fans, and plenty of additional storage. It looks like Corsair has taken their trusted and true approach...

I believe the side panel is held closed by magnets and can just be opened like a door.

I have the same case, in black,
Open the glass side door,
Look for the two thumb screws that I've highlighted in red, undo them to take off the front fan panel,

Once done it should look like this...

May have to remove the GPU to get / have more space,
Then you just have to remove the magnetic dust filter, to get to the fan screws, if they need tightening back up to the front fan panel,
Then just do the reverse to put in back together.

Just thinking, unless it's the fan sticker that has a bad placement, giving it a wobbly affect, just like in this video?

If so, then the fans are fine, just a bad centre sticker placement.

I’ll give this ago later, thank you so much. I thought it was a bit weird it looked loose compared to the rest which was odd. Thanks again

I will try and tighten them later, thank you for contacting me about this. Cheers

Oh that might be it then, I’ve put the rpm up on my fans and it’s now impossible to see but a bit noisier. Thanks

That really did drive me mad on my first PCS build! I tried to piggle it off, messed it up and got in a huff. I then bought a RGB fan to replace it. I tell myself I did that for the RGB, but I don't know I just hated that wobbly sticker.

If you're ever struggling with a sticker attached to anything just dab on some oliveoil or cooking oil and leave it for a few mins to soak in. It'll fall right off

*warning, don't use used cooking oil... don't want your PC smelling like chips!*

Speak for yourself, man, that’s exactly what I aim for!
