I would just go to a hardware store or something and buy some small rubber washers...that worked for me when i was having the same problem

What I can do to minimize the vibration on my radiator fans.  I screw the radiator onto the fan, and then the fan onto the case.  I used standard screws because I assumed that those rubber mounting things won't be able to hold the weight of both the fan and the radiator.

 

Unfortunately, I can hear the entire case vibrating sometimes, kind of like the vibrations an automatic car idling on a red light has.  Kind of like slight rattling noise.

Do you remember what size the holes for washers are for case fan screws?  If so, I can save some driving by going to hardware store directly from work instead of going home, grabbing a screw, then back to hardware store.

I just measured my fan screws for 120mm fans and they are about 1/6in diameter for the threads and about 1/4in for the head..i would get rubber washers with a 1/8in opening because since they are rubber the threads can go through them and then you wont have to worry about the head of the screw going through.
