Cooler Master HAF 932 Hard drive/vibration Problem

[Eddie313]

Just Built a New box with the HAF 932 and i'm getting this Vibration maybe? It going to waves like 10 seconds on 2 seconds off. I can feel in on the table it sits on and feel it in the keyboard a little, also i can hear it.

All the screws and tight and its grounded to the outlet. I swap all the parts to a antec 902 case and no noise whats so ever.

Doesn't the antec use soft drive mounts? HD vibration I'll wager.

Ok stupid me didn't even think to unplug the hard drive Ugh. Yeah its all hard drive noise anybody else have this problem with the HAF 932?

Soft mount the drive, google silent pc, I think the site you want is SPCR, they have posted many ways to do this, I have mine mount on 1/4" foam weatherstrip but there are several options.

Well i took out all the drives and lined the hard drive cage helped a little but still hear/feel it. Really you should not have to do anything thing like that. The problem is in the cage design that should be fixed.

No, the problem is the inherent imbalance of the hard drive platters. I have the same problem with both of my WD hard drives, among them a RE3 enterprise drive. I removed both the WDs for the week and I've slept in peace ever since.

On this build i am using 2 seagte hard drives I can just install one still does it, Install a western digital still does it. I even installed a Low RPM grean drive still does it. To have that much trouble seems to me there is a problem with the cage/ Anti Vibration or lack thereof.

To me that comment just shows there is a problem with the case.

Your a computer case company your designing a case probably a lot of games are going to use. And there might be a lot of Higher end hardware in the case, like 10,000 rpm raptors an such. You would think they would compensate for Extra Vibration due to higher RPM Drives.

I mean you can not be drive specific if there is extra vibration that is known to come from a western digital then you need to add some measure to Fix.

I have the same case with all bays full, two of my drives are high speed sata as well (10k rpm) I have no issues like this.

I did get some vibration sound from installing 4 120mm fans on the side of the case, but some tightening of the screws fixed it.

Well i have seagate and hitachi hd's and I don't have that problem with my drive cage.
