Review on 🔇 Quiet PC Cooling: HONBAY 40PCS Black Rubber Anti-Vibration Screws for Noise Reduction in PC and CPU Case Fans by Ricky Rey

First time using rubber fan rivets. Study: I had to DuckDuckGo it. I found that the side furthest away from the middle, larger hub is installed at the fan holes. The side with the shortest distance goes to the hull itself. Installation: Video after video shows/tells you to pull straight. Which I did and broke my first two attempts. It starts to turn a little white just before it bursts. So I thought a bit and decided...yeah, you know. The next two rivets on the same 80mm fan went through with no problems. There's a little more detail here, pull as straight as you can and wiggle a bit from side to side until you hear a click and see a larger piece of rubber rip out. That's it, one fantastic fan after another worked. In short, pull straight and gently rock slowly from side to side. I used pliers by the way, it's much more comfortable on my hands. Noise: Significantly lower than metal screws. I suspect the level of noise cancellation will depend on where your noise is coming from, and that's obvious. For me it was like day and night. The PC I was working on is a very old Intel C2D, as is the case and fan. The noise was terrible since he was next to me. Now my little niece can have her first computer and not be so noisy. Miscellaneous: since I now have two rivets shorter than the other two, I just cut off a few ends from the longer ones, it looks better. I've also added a photo of a riveted fan in an old Cooler Master case. Finally, if you find you need longer rubber rivets, you can simply trim both ends, keep the round washer, and poke a hole in the center with a regular paper punch. He did this for my Raijintek Styx with the rear fan on and it worked flawlessly. Much luck!
