Vardar Vibration

Adisaur · September 22, 2016

Hey guys! I was planning to build a PC with a corsair H100i v2 as the cooler and was also planning on changing the fans to the EK Vardar's however on seeing a review on YouTube, I realised that they vibrate when in contact with the radiator causing a humming noise. It was also mentioned to use rubber standoffs to mount the fan onto the radiator. It's pretty starightforward how to use these standoffs when installing the fan onto the case, however I could not figure out how to attach it to the radiator. PLEASE HELP FAM!!!

You can't use them on a rad obviously. Get an anti-vibration rubber gasket, they're cheap and fairly effective. There should be 240mm ones as well if you don't want to use two 120mm ones. I think I'm using a 360mm one from xspc or something.
