Hi all, i have a rosewill destroyer case with just the stock fans and i was wondering why after i removed the fan to clean the case, the fan is louder. it sounds as though it's vibrating against the case.

 

Is there something i can do to make it quieter or at least as quiet as it was before removing and replacing it?

If you didn't use rubber grommets for the fan, try to get some and use them. They really do make a difference.

I was hoping to find them in a local store if possible, otherwise i would order them. do you know of any?

 

Take fan screw and go to local hardware store and ask for o-rings that would fit the screw. Those are really basic but will do same effect as ordering $5 pack from amazon.
