Corsair case creates ridiculous whining noise

Hey guys

Been a while since I last posted on here.

Basically i have just swapped out my CM Centurion 590 for a Corsair 500R

Great case, I love it, except for the one thing that is making me want to send it back.

My H80 is whining worse than 2 cats mating in an alley. I have it set up with two fans, push/pull, exhausting air to the rear.

I have narrowed the problem to the pull fan right on the mesh. Seeing as nothing has changed, except the case, I noticed the mesh protrudes slightly to give the fan some space, and I think this creates the noise.

Has anybody experienced this before (even with another case?)

I used to have my CPU fans on the fastest setting with no issues, and now they on low because the whine is seriously atrocious.

Please let me know if oyu manage to have a fix for this besides cutting the case.

Thanks guys
