Can the vibrations from your subwoofer damage internal pc parts?

Ryukyra

Hey guys,

So i've got a z623 from Logitech for quite a while and it just came to my mind if it could have damagaed anyhow the internal components of my custom pc.

I take good care of it every 2-3 months for maintenance against dust and anything else that happens, but it would be horrible if a mechanical drive would die because of the vibrations.

I don't usually fire them up so loud, but sometimes i just wanna get crazy and pump some electronic music to 70%, which makes my wardrobe on the other side of the room go nuts!

Soo yeah... It just came in my mind, i guess that normal internal parts such as flash chips shouldn't have any problem, still, I wouldn't mind having a confirmation by someone who understands things better than me.

My rig isn't going anywhere, it doesn't have wheels, the subwoofer is about half a meter away from the pc and i can feel a lot of vibrations under my desk when i turn up the volume :P

Thanks for the attention, hope this question wasn't that stupid haha

My old subwoofer was about the same distance from my main rig as yours. Haven't had any hard drive/hardware failures and I've been running that setup for around 2-3 years. 

Depending on the size of the subwoofer(doesn't matter in your situation) I wouldn't recommend sticking it way to close to hard drives since there's a huge magnet on the back of the speaker or whatever it's called.

If you think your HDD is getting damaged, try this. Also if your case have rubber feet then I guess you're fine.
