PC CASE FAN NOISE

[Gorge]

 Hey had a quick question, is it normal for my PC case fan to make a grinding sound as it spins down? Doesn’t make grinding sound when the PC is on or under load.

It definitely isnt normal, except if you have some real cheap fans.

I have Thermaltake RGB plus Riing led rgb 140 mm

Might be a sign of an issue with one/more than one of the fans, but if there's no noise when operating at normal speed I wouldn't worry too much yet.  Might just be a weird resonance at the slower speeds as it's spinning down...

yeah makes sence. I changed it and now only my crappy GTX 1060 makes fan noises. I am saving up for a GTX 2080. is it worth it? my other specs are good and there will be no bottle necks

No, you have a fairly light cooler.

light? wow can vibrations from sub damage anything? and can vibration in general hurt?

Depends on the games you play and what resolution your monitor is.  Objectively it's a good card (overpriced maybe, and also in a strange middle-land between the 2070 and 2080ti), but might not be the best buy for your use case.

Yes, vibration COULD hurt the computer if severe enough for long enough.  But, for a sub to do that you'll likely have the cops called for noise complaints long before it harms your computer.

 OK is a CPU heatsink that weighs 960 g too heavy? For a pc that will shake sometimes? And vibrate (from sub)

No, that weight is fine as long as the proper heatsink mounting hardware is used.  The Noctua NH-D15 weighs 1320g with fans as a point of comparison.  Many people use that with proper mounting hardware without issues.

 

Regardless of heatsink size, you don't want you computer to be vibrating/shaking...  Move your sub.

OK thanks! so what if my laundry room is right beneath my desk and it is made of metal...  it rattles and also my weight room is below this as well and when i drop my weights it can vibrate the desk. Is this ok? are PCs weak?

no I am not trolling you. 

So then like how long will it take for my GPU to fall off from excessive humping? like after LOTS of hand relief?  jk thats trolling.

but for real, im new and was just wondering if they can take vibrations and force. they seem weak to me and fragile. idk im sorry but should it be fine?
