G.Skill Trident RGB vibration noise

[Zerkin]

My G.Skill Trident z RGB sticks look incredible and I love them, but the little plastic piece on each one that has the LED's under it I notice is pretty loose on the memory stick. Because of this, one of my sticks tends to vibrate in my computer and make a rattling noise.

I can go over and put my finger on the plastic and the noise immediately stops, and sometimes I can kind of push it into a place where it'll stop vibrating for a few seconds/minutes, but it always shakes free and vibrates again.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? I was thinking of maybe just putting a tiny glob of hot glue on the plastic part to hopefully keep it in place and absorb some of those vibrations....

Your computer shouldn't be vibrating. You might have to fix this vibration issue and not the memory.

Your mobo is screwed down tight to your case right? Are all your fans screwed on tight?

The vibration comes from my coolant reservoir/pump. Unfortunately my case just doesn't have a SUPER solid mechanism to screw that down as tight as possible so a slight vibration can be felt through the tubes. Since the tubes connect to my CPU waterblock which is right next to the RAM, the stick that is closest to it gets a slight vibration as a result.

Update: You motivated me to grab some pliers and really see if I could get the screws around my pump any tighter. I managed to budge them just a little and actually it seems like the vibration was reduced! There's still a slight rattling of the plastic part of the ram, but much less (though who knows it may wiggle itself out more in time). I'll keep checking it and see if it stays quiet(er).
