Vibrating

Hello, i believed that my gpu was vibrating from one of the 3 fans but overclockers rma say the gpu is fine.

What would vibrate in the case?

It did it on the previous motherboard as well. It was all put into a new case

Are all your case fans secure?

Is the case on a level surface? Could anything on the case of come loose?

Have you checked your hard drive, it could be this giving the vibration.

so im guessing the vibrating stops when you remove the gpu?

Firstly check to make sure everything is fitted correctly and tightened. Then take the side off and turn your PC on. In turn hold each component, without touching any circuitry or fans, to see if the vibration stops. Then you will know what it is! You obviously have to be careful.

yeah the vibrating has stopped since the gpu was taken out. it seemed to do it when the fans hit a certain rpm but overclockers say its fine

May be a resonant frequency in your computer case. Occasionally I get it with a case fan screwed to the case. Try touching the case when it happens. Mine was solved by placing a paperback on top of the case which changed its resonance. Not ideal and it seems to have disappeared now.

The GPU is one of the things that is securely screwed to the case and hence vibrations could transfer. You could try small O-rings on the screws or just loosening them a touch.

Nice one man will give it a try when it arrives monday.

Isn't hard to reproduce either as just set the fan speed between 30-40%
