Buzzing noise from case

[computernerd123]

My components:

i5 4690k

r9 390

thermaltake macho cooler

 

1x intake 1x exhaust

 

Evga supernova 750 B2

 

Fractal design define r4

 

Its silent except from there noise until I put the case fan on full speed which hides the noise but on silence you can hear it while its on I cant pinpoint the noise but it seems its the Gpu

-SNIP-

 

Do a process of elimination by unplugging the case fans one at a time or very carefully slow and and stop the fans temporarily by the hub, until you notice the noise go away.

Could be your power supply

[computernerd123]

No guys its not I put my head on the desk and I heard loud viberation lifted my pc and the noise is gone how can i get rid of it is there any aftermarket solutions its annoying

[computernerd123]

stupid question is glass a good material to put the pc on to prevent viberation?

[computernerd123]

Its the desk viberating because of the pc man its really annoying​

What kind of fans you got in your system?

[JoshB2084]

Checking loose fans.

[computernerd123]

I have fractal design r4 stock fans, it goes away when I lift the case

Best to not have on glass especially if it's a super heavy PC, if it's vibrating the desk then check your fans, and drives, mount them on rubber isolators or the entire case on some simmer isolator. The vibrations are basically the same harmonics as your desk amplifying the noise, I has a similar problem when it would cause extra noise since the cabinet was amplifying it making it hum.

Those would help a little but it's best to isolate at the source with anti-vibration hard drive mount and fans or have quieter components.

try making sure all the fans are screwed on properly, preferably with anti-vibration mounts. Plastic washer's could also do the trick.

we have anti-vibration mounts on the hard drive and properly screwed in, the desk is amplifing the viberation im suspecting the fans I just plugged in the stock fractal design fans did I need to screw them?

If they are clipped in securely It should be no problem, it's hard to say but isolating it from the desk or say the entire hard drive cage can help. I found my hard drive was the problem so I mounted the drive on a piece of plexi and a thick foam blocks which stopped a almost all vibrations.

Trying to think of a solution because my hard drives are fitted with anti-viberation mounts, when i lift the case its gone completely

vibration source can only be from a moving thing so a fan or disk platter but the thing making the noise could be anything lose in the case.

open the case and start holding stuff till you figure out what is making the noise and see if you can secure it.

 

if you just want to isolate it from the desk , speaker stand foam / dense foam would work but you are best finding the cause of the issue and solving that rather than trying to mask it.

could a bottom mounted psu cause vibration 

[k4p84]

it has a fan in it so it is possible, put your hand on it while it is running to see if the noise stops / make sure the PSU mounting screws are done up tight

The easiest would be to move it to another surface but I find most of those rubber isolators not that amazing. If you have a removal drive cage you could mount the entire drive cage with soft rubber isolators.

i only have anti viberation on the hard drive and not on the ssd, would putting these on the hard drive cages stop the viberation?

It would be more like a modded mounting to have the entire cage isolated from the case, another option is something like this suspending the hard drives in the 5.25" bay.

should I unplug the hard drive and see if the viberation stops what happens?

Give it a try and boot the PC without it and see if it get any quieter.

sound is completely gone when removing hdd, I think I know why didn't put the screws on the side (To hold the bracket tightly)
