Fractal Aspect 14 RGB PWM

Hello, I have built me 3 pieces in the front of my case. The first thing that unfortunately stands out negatively is that the fans have no decoupling in the area of the screw connection. After installation, I could hear in the speed range between about 800 and 1200 revolutions unfortunately sporadic very annoying vibration. So I put 2 mm rubber washers between the fan and the case and between the screws and the case. Between the fans I left a 1 mm gap. But this only brought a little improvement and it is still very audible. It is not the case that vibrates, it is 2 of the 3 fans.
It helps to run the fans below 800 rpm when idle and then the noise is not so annoying under load. I'm still thinking about whether they stay in the case.

Essentially behaves exactly like Dynamic X2, except it can be mounted in any orientation due to riffle bearing. It perform as Noctua NF-14 or Be quiet, but it's much quieter than those two!
