How to dampen fan vibration?
I have 3 Vantec Silent 80mm fans, and outside the case they are as quiet as can be.. but inside they are louder than my CPU FAN!!! I have the Antec SX835 case, which all have clip in fan mounts. How oculd i reduce the vibration on these fans?
I meant when i hook up the fan outside my case (I have a celeron 400 that is quiet where i test teh fans) , I can't hear them. When i put them in, it gets loud.
As for the fans, The front bezel fan i cannot hear at all. My rear exauhst, gives me a whir and its blowing straight into a fan grill which is what I think is causing a lot of the noise. I have a HDD ocoler which i know is loud cause the hrad driev is making it loud

Well I didn't underovlt anything cause I don't want to kill my PSU and I have no idea what i'm doing, but removing the fan grill took it down 2-3 db. There is still a hum, but not as noticable. It is pretty quiet now, and i can bearly heari t over my speakers which are at low volume. Only problem is my CPU is relaly hot now, 48C idle, 55 full load. Is this ok temps?
