How to mount psu

I have a Corsair HX 520 and Solo case and I don't know what to use to ensure its mounted/fixed as quietly as I can. I'm sure there is a little vibration from its current 'out-of-the-box' fixing, 4 screws provided.

I guess I wanted to know if there are any PSU anti-vibration gasket kits or some other way to ensure quiet safe operation?

Something like an antec noisekiller may help, but imo it wont make a difference as the fans going so low speed its generating little vibration. Its more higher speed fans and hard drives that generate enough vibrations to make a big difference, though correct me anyone on this.

There are anti-vibration gaskets but I wouldn't buy one. The slow moving 120 mm fan will most likely not induce any audible vibration at all.

Just screw it in with the 4 screws.

Its more the psu against the back of the solo, where its fixed with the 4 screws provided with psu. it also seems to be close to the case rail, looks like its touching. won't this cause vibration?

The mass of the PSU and the fact that the fan won't spin very fast at all will most likely mean no vibrations. I have never had a vibrating PSU
