General discussion • Re: Do we think my Pi 5 fan is noisy because I have mounted it vertically?

The fan was close to silent initially, but now is quite noisy. It sounds like the fans are rubbing against something.
It looks like I can take it apart, I just wondered if it might be because I have the Pi mounted vertically that the fan is not very happy?
It's possible, although sleeve bearing fans are typically happier mounted vertically, and fluid-dynamic and ball-bearing fans don't generally care much about orientation. Does it quieten down if you tip it slightly back from vertical?
