See also: AFM03B Easy-Fit Fan Mounts Why are Fan Mounts Necessary? Vibration from fan motors can travel into a PC case and become amplified when a fan is fitted tightly. This unwanted 'vibrational' noise is an issue if you wish to build a very quiet or virtually silent PC. These mounts have been designed 'from the drawing-board' specifically to tackle fan-induced vibrational noise! Acousti Ultra-Soft Fan Mounts are a 'no-vibration' alternative to standard fan screws or hard plastic push pins.To prevent the transmission of vibrations from a motor (such as a fan motor); the vibrating part needs to be decoupled (or disengaged) from the case; and the vibrations need to be damped; that is; attenuated. Acousti Products have selected an ultra-soft silicone polymer that effectively decouples the fan and also attenuates unwanted vibration. Both the shape and materials have been designed together to give a widely compatible fan mount.These mounts are made from an ultra-soft silicone polymer because it is softer and more chemically stable than cheaper alternatives like rubber or EPDM. Ultra-soft silicone is non-toxic; more chemically stable; and can also tolerate higher temperatures - so it is a superior material for this application.AFM02B - Acousti Ultra-Soft Fan Mounts are available in both Retail Packs of 8 mounts (shown); and packs of 100 mounts in bulk (enough for 25 fans) for OEM and system builders.Compatibility Please note that this product is only compatible with flange type fans. This is because flange type fans (shown below) do not have a 'tunnel' connecting the mounting holes like Rib type fans. Flange type design is the most popular type of fan moulding used in PCs & servers. For rib-type fans; we recommend gaskets rather than fan mounts; which will give equally good performance.

but a great product.
Got rid of a lot of noise from my desktop PC, can be a pain to install in certain areas of a case, but a great product.

+ Holds fans securely. Does not transmit vibration.- A bit short so slightly hard to install.

Fiddly failure
Very fiddly to install and didn't seem to make much difference to noise levels.

Great
For a pack of 8 of these for £5, these are probably the most expensive you can get.I got the Noctua fan mounts and put them in with my front case fans but they REALLY stick out meaning there was no way I could put them on top without it looking bad. So I got these Acousti ones.Since I have 2 high quality anti-vibration fan mounts I can compare them; the Noctua feels stronger and the Acousti is softer and more "rubbery". But these have flat heads so it's perfect for my top case fans. I've only just installed them (pushed them through the corsair fans with a small screwdriver to avoid ripping it so you should be careful...).They seem to be holding well (honestly, each of them look like they may pop out at any moment but there are 4 holding each fan so hopefully they stay instact), they're black and minature so they are hard to notice like normal screws.Should they degrade/fail within a year, I'll definitely change this review. So far, great :)

Best fan mounts of the few I've tried so far.
Seem pretty resilient and were strong enough to stand up to my initial attempts to fit the fan onto them after pushing them through the chassis. (I'd never before realised that the long "pin" is used to pull the fan latching collar through the hole in the fan...once I'd cottoned on to this easy peasy!)

very nice ones.
very flexibles and easy to use... the tip is long enought to do not need anything but your hand to set them. Also they are plain in a side so they are almost invisible in some cases. I really really like this ones. The only thong I found as an issue, was that they are a bit small for some areas in my pc case so the fan ifeels a bit loosy and i had to use the traditional screw.

fits
reduces vibration therefore less noise. fits by just pulling and no need of a screw driver either.cheap as chips.

Generally good, one breakage
Generally pleased with the mounts. Had one break while installing, although was pulling fairly hard.
