My XSPC duel res is causing vibrating issues! Only me?

[Mech0z]

I have a XSPC duel res in my ATCS 840 case, the case has toolless installation so I am tempted remove the toolless parts and screwing it fast tight. But anyone that has this res that can report if they also have vibration issues?

i got vibration too with this res. The only way i found to solve it is to suspend the res with elastic. At least, i not recommand this res because 2 pumps like DDC make noise when running too closer.

Anyone?

no vibration issues using MM U2-UFO, try adding rubber washers between the res and bay cage .

Think I will try and use my Lian Li V2110B and see if its any difference, if it is then I will have to mod that to fit a triple and a double rad

I tried a XSPC dual res in my ATCS and had some major vibration noise. The problem is that the res is a little too big for the drive bays. Did you have to really work to get the res into the drive bays on your ATCS?

I had a discussion about this in a thread a while back, basically the res is slightly larger than the ATCS's drive bay and all the vibration is getting transferred to the case. Before getting the ATCS I had mine in a Cosmos S and I had no problems with the noise.

Here's the old thread.

I despise tool less cases for just this very reason. On every tool less case I got, it seems they made the drive cages larger than the standard to accommodate their worthless mounting mechanisms and it doesn't always seem to work right.

In the case of the ATCS, the drive cages are too small.

Here are the measurements taken by coolmeister:
measurement taken side to side on the bit that actually slides into the chassis
ATCs 840 chassis = 146.7mm
Standard DVD ROM Drive = 146mm
XSPC Dual DDC Reservoir = 147.7mm
XSPC Clear Dual Bay Reservoir = 145.4mm

It looks like the XSPC res is wider than a standard DVD-Rom. If XSPC just stuck to the same specs that everyone else does, then the vibration wouldn't be a problem.

On a separate note, are there any performance numbers for the dual ddc bay res?
