Question Noctua NH-D15-SE-AM4 Vibrates

[skk-]

Hi Guys,

was wondering any of you encounter this issue? my D15 vibrates not sure why though at first i dismantle everything and found out it was the bracket that was loose. i tighten all the necessary screws and still it vibrates any idea why? i have also check that the fan provided doesn't vibrate at all as i remove it from the cooler and left it by itself.

currently my setup is

MOBO - Gigabyte x470 gaming 7
CPU - Ryzn 2600x
GPU - Gigabyte 1070ti gaming
RAM - 16GB 3000Mhz Corsair RGB
PSU - 750 Gold+ Seasonic
SSD - Crucial 250GB
HDD - 2TB Seagate

If you grab the cooler with your hand and try to move it around (with the computer off, please,) does it have any play in it? Is the MB tightened down properly on the stand offs?

i did that too, at first it was loose on the stand offs and the bracket. dismantle everything and still it vibrates. cause it cant be that my fans are running at full speed right. im using 3 nzxt aer 140 2 at the front and 1 at the top.

The only moving part is the fan.

Test the fan by itself and see if it wobbles

Well, you can turn off you case fans and see if the vibration is still there.

i will try that, meaning to leave the fan hanging? cause i tried holding the fan and it doesnt wobble.

Sure, that's a good way to do it.

i have found out whats the issue. its my 140 nzxt fan it runs full speed so i had to set it to silent in bios.
