Making it quieter?

Addicted · 6 Oct 2011 at 10:15

Currently i have 6x Xilence Red Wing's as push->pull on my 360 rad in a Corsair 800D, which seems to cause a lot of vibration hence causing more noise!
I just wondered what methods people use for attaching the fans & rad's to their computers and if they have any techniques to reduce vibrations/noise?

You can use those rubber gromets on the screws or the rubber inserts which replace the screws to help with this. Should be able to get them here

Ok cheers, I'm also using a EK CoolStream Radiator XT 360 which came with extremely long screws (for attaching the fans and case to the radiator), do you know of any screws i can replace these with so that i'm only attaching the fan to the radiator, so i could use something like that in my case?

edit: nevermind they're just M3 screws, i'm sure i can find some somewhere!

I got some stainless m3 bolts off eBay about 4 quid for 10, I'm using red wings on my Rad and theyre not particular quiet on full whack.
