Do the silicon isolator posts/bolts work when used in conjuction with the rubber/silicon gaskets?

Like these?

I'm still using the original two sets of Antec silicon fan "screws" that came with my two-year old Sonata. I've replaced the exhaust fan twice, and the intake fan has been replaced and dismounted/remounted several times. It is a bit of a pain to poke the barbs on these screws through the holes when removing, but I haven't had one break yet. And they seem to do a fine job of isolating fan vibration.

I'll answer my own question since I've got the answer now after trying it.

Yes, you can use a rubber/silicon gasket along with the rubber/silicon mounting posts. I used both to mount some Noctua 120mm fans (800s) in my Antec P180. The two worked fine together.

Yes, but I'm not using the original Antec Trio fans anymore, so it's really hard to say what part the gasket / dampening posts made vs. the Noctua fans.
