As the title suggests i ordered this pack for my PC: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-003-AK

However they seem to have developed some annoying micro-vibration, i knew it was them as when i stopped them the vibrations disappeared. It seems to hit a resonance which becomes quite irritating after a short amount of time, the vibrations increase with speed. I do use the rubber anti-vibration mounts but those don't seem to help.

I run them at a low speed but the noise is still quite irritating. Do i stand any chance with being able to RMA them? I have made a post in the CS forum but was wondering what people think.

If i was to get an RMA which fans would you suggest? I need three 140mm high static pressure fans preferably no more than £15 each.

a quote from the Noctua 3000 thread further down the page:

"If you want a fan with almost identical performance to the NF-A14 IPPC, get the Thermalright TY-143 fan. "
