lost Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 before i screw my fans into the front, would it be a good idea to place rubber bands between the case and the fan? so it can reduce noise? *shrugs* (they sell those 80/90/120 mm plastic vibration dampeners, figured i might as well use rubber bands) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammin Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 It may help a little (hey, it can't hurt right). Don't expect it to be as effective as vibration damping mounts, as you'll still have the vibration passed through the screw itself (plus rubber bands are relatively firm).

iKillSteal Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Sure, you can use rubber bands to help absorb the vibration of the fan. Just loop it around the screw hole a couple of times so it looks like a washer. Do this on the other side of the panel as well for maximum effect.

Andrewr05 Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Rubber bands would probably work but an Idea I had awhile back was to use mouse pads... Just trace the fan onto a OEM style cheapo foam cloth pad and cut out the DIY gasket, its firm but I'm sure it would reduce fan noise a bit...
