hum in Antec P180 mini
Posted: Thu Dec 01, 2016 5:23 pm
I have a P180 mini and the harddisks give a hum when the case is closed, I am pretty sure of it. The only other thing could be the front fan but it only runs at perhaps 800 rpm and I don't think it would produce such a low sound.
Since the harddisks are basically already suspended in those rubber grommets (soft lightish transparentish silicone) what else could I possibly do? They are 2.5" disks mounted in "twin mount" from Scythe. The twin mounts... the harddisks gave annoying clicks (head resets?) when I would mount 2 of them together in a "twin mount" which was basically the whole point of the whole twin mount idea.
So I had to separate the harddisks and after that they stopped producing the clicks.
There are just two disks in the enclosure both 'suspended' in their own twin mount inside those rubber grommets.
They are hanging vertically.
They are in the upper chamber. The case used to have a longer graphics card making it impossible to use the lower chamber, as I just put a fan in front of that. I prefer to have them horizontal so I might move the fan up even though that does not make much sense. Whether that is going to change anything; rather unlikely. The only other thing I could possibly do is seek some real kind of suspension.
Do you think I should?
