Reviews

"...most of the resonant buzz was eliminated. This indicates that the fan mounts were doing their job effectively." [www.silentpcreview.com] LINK: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article262-page1.html


Why are Fan Mounts Necessary?

Vibration from fan motors can travel into a PC case and become amplified when a fan is fitted tightly. This unwanted 'vibrational' noise is an issue if you wish to build a very quiet or virtually silent PC.

These mounts have been designed & uniquely produced by Acousti Products 'from the drawing-board' specifically to tackle fan-induced vibrational noise! Acousti Ultra-Soft Fan Mounts are a 'no-vibration' alternative to standard fan screws or hard plastic push pins.

To prevent the transmission of vibrations from a motor (such as a fan motor), the vibrating part needs to be decoupled (or disengaged) from the case, and the vibrations need to be damped (that is, attenuated). Acousti products have selected a ultra-soft silicone polymer that effectively decouples the fan and also attenuates unwanted vibration.

Both the shape and materials have been designed together to give a widely compatible fan mount that is also the very softest and most effective available!


Why are these Mounts any better than Others?

Acousti Products have chosen an ultra-soft silicone polymer because it is softer and more chemically stable than cheaper alternatives like rubber or EPDM. Ultra-soft silicone is non-toxic, more chemically stable, and can also tolerate higher temperatures - so it is a superior material for this application.
