    CM-690 Vibrations

    Alright I am having a slight problem with my CM-690 I bought recently, the side fan that came with the case makes a rather loud vibration sound when left to its own devices, would taking out the screws that came with it and installing some anti-vibration spacers remove this noise?

    I had the same issue but its todo with the fan being to close afaik as mines fine now once i shoved a dust filter between it and even better after rubber mounts.

    I used washers and my own nuts/bolts for mounting

    However loosening the stock screws should put enough space between the fan blades and grill

    pop down to your local hardware/diy shop and pick up a pack of silicon/plastic washers
    eg from maplin
