Im currently using a Corsair Carbide 500R case with two Corsair AF140's installed in the top compartment.

Basically, one of the screws has a loud vibration even after I tightened the screw. I would like to buy some rubber vibration dampening fan mounts (ya know, rubber screws...) to eliminate the vibrating. Problem is I keep reading mixed reviews about every brand of screws I come across. The main issue seems to be that the screws do not fit the fan. I can't find much info about which screws to use with the Corsair AF 140.

Any recommendations? Thank you!

The rubber "screws" linked below are good and should work with your fans, although they can be a little tricky to install because of the length. The Noctua ones are good too, if you don't mind the color - that's mostly what I use. Two alternatives are rubber fan gaskets and plain rubber washers that you can pick up at the hardware store. If you go with the washers, which work very well in my experience and are cheap, make sure to get soft, thin ones, otherwise you can end up with too big of a gap between the fan frame and the case panel which can allow air to bleed around them and reduce their effectiveness.
