Scythe Grand Kama Cross rev B vibration

[sneejk]

Hello everyone,

I'm having a problem with Scythe Grand Kama Cross rev B CPU cooler. When spinning, even at 800rpm, cooler causes vibrations to my pc case. At higher RPMs it gets worse. I've checked for loosen screws on fan but they are all tightened hard. Also I've tried to put foam between fan and heatsink but no fix. Im out of ideas so any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure it's the cpu cooler?

It could be a bad fan. Can you take it off the cooler and hold it in your hand while you boot the PC?

That should tell you, a fan should feel smooth as silk when held in your hand.

Warning, hold it well when you push the PC pwr button, they can tourque out of your hand and easily break or cut you.

yep, increasing RPM on it causes higher vibrations.
