Making your case quieter

[GasX]

I just removed the stock front case fan from my Enlight 7237 and replaced it with an Antec 92mm case fan I got from babutiger (thanks again) . The 80mm is now in the rear exhaust position. My case is actually quieter now than it was before and that includes the addition of a card cooler XT blowing on the Geforce (2x60mm fans)

How did I do it? very very simple.

The fans are attached to the case with small but slender bolts. Between the case and the fan on each bolt is a wide but thin rubber washer. When the nuts are tightened, the fans compress the rubber which then dampens any vibration caused by the fan. The result is a noticeably quieter case for the whopping cost of: $0.56

Now, that is a sign of true genius. The Cheapest method of quiting your case if the fans are rattling because of nothing to dampen the shaking of them.

However you still forget, some fans are just NOISY anyways

Does anyone know if this will work with a T-Bird? I thought the fan had to be in direct contact with the CPU to cool it. Won't anything you put inbetween reduce it's ability to cool it?

Enigmo, I think Mwilding is talking about case fans. not the CPU cooler.

My suggestion is purely for case fans...
