Hi chaps,my T300 base has developed an odd buzzing noise when in use for about 30mins,it sounds electrical to me. Done some googling and can't see a proper explanation. Tried uploading a video but i wont let me. cheers.

Defective fan perhaps?

Definitely not the fan because I can force it on and off. It sounds like power supply is buzzing.

Just to update this in case anybody has the same issue. After contacting Thrustmaster it did indeed turn out to be the fan. New one has been fitted and noise is less noticeable.

Ok, then it could also be a good idea to have on always on (mode&button 8) during the game and not wait for the overheat to jump in. That will ensure longer life of your wheel overall and no thermal throttling of the motor.

Does all Thrustmaster products have that including the TMX or no?
