Carbide 540 - Vibrating noisy beam on my top panel


bhavv

Recommended Posts

Im having a bit of a problem with one of the beams on the top of my case vibrating from the airflow. This only started happening after I tried using the front fans provided with the case as exhausts on the top as they are very good fans and push a lot of air, but they cause one of the beams to vibrate:

 

 

It took me a while to figure out where the noise was coming from.

 

Im hoping this is just a problem with the top panel on my case, and that I could get it replaced? What part number would I need to enter for an RMA request?

I have exactly the same problem. I had to move my Kraken X60 to the front as the vibration was driving me mad. It also does it with any and all 120 - 140mm fans I have tried including the stock case fans, Gentle Typhoons, Noctua's and as of this morning the Corsair AF140's.

I´m sorry but that will no be fixed with an RMA, seems rather a construction issue, a low quality assembly.

Comments like that make me laugh. Flaws or or manufacturing defects doesn't translate into low quality.

 

From what i can see in the Video that the OP posted, it's just that mesh panel. And that could be one of a million things that could potentially be the problem. Up to and including the machines that stamp out and form those panels.

 

I'm sure Corsair will come up with a fix or replace any defects.

It was a easy fix for me.

 

I placed thin stripes of double side tape between the beams and mesh.

You can also use any anti vibe foam or rubber pads and cut it to size.

I also replaced the fan's screws with rubber mounts, this really helps to keep the case vibration free.

 

Some problems I just prefer to try to solve them, because replacement parts will have the same issues. But everyone has the wright to complain.
