Make that pump quiet for $2

aburgard · Jan 13, 2006

My pump made a higher pitch and louder noise than I cared for. Quick fix.

$2 for Nu-Foam at Wal-Mart

Measure and cut some pieces

This is a Lian-Li v1000, so I don't have to see my white foamish stuff

Insert

Done... and it works very very well

Oh, and this Fun Foam from Hobby Lobby sells for $1 per sheet. Works wonders as a vibration damper and it's a LOT cheaper than actual damper material

Neat, but you do know that pumps put out heat and do need to cool right?

I figure the water running through that pump should cool it well enough... I mean, it does manage to cool my processor et al.

yeah, but water doesnt run through the motor, which is the only part that gets hot.

Suppose I can let it breathe out the back.
