PC CASE VIBRATION

Had this problem. It depends on case set up basically for airflow, but I realized that I had my fans upside down. My case came with a mesh filter that has dampener lining, which says my top case fans should be INTAKE and not exhaust. I initially used them as exhaust and the noise would not stop. I turned them over, put the mesh filter back on top and the sound has practically disappeared. My temperatures have improved as well.

 

Just posted this for anyone who might be in the same situation.

Just take off the mesh liner ?, exhaust shouldn't need a filter.

You want to prevent dust from going in, not out.

Well, like I said, my top fans were designed to be intake and not exhaust. I use tower cooler with three front intake fans and the ones on top that are meant to be intake. One fast exhaust fan in the rear. My temperatures overall have greatly improved. Running a ryzen 5 5600x overclocked with temperatures averaging 35 degrees idle, while with the fans acting as exhaust, my temperature would not drop below 45.

 

The airflow is even evident from the change is sound. Overall my point is the sound has since almost vanished. Really depends on case design than anything else.
