Easy sound dampening?

slaya · 12-30-04, 08:13 AM

Hey, I got a via aqua 1300. I have it bolted down to the bottom of my case with some ghetto foam to absorb the vibration, it doesn't seem to be helping since I can feel/hear the vibration. The rest of my computer is pretty silent besides this and its not loud, just annoying. I'm wondering if there is a quick solution to this problem, like a cheap/easy to find material to lay in between the case and the pump?

Have you tried mounting it on neoprene?

Just bolting it down will not help, you have to isolate it. Find some rubber pieces at your local building supply store (Lowes/Home Depot) that you can put your screws into,. If you don't do that you might as well just bolt it to the case itself.
