Anti-vibration Fan Pad SILVERSTONE FS-80 for 80mm Fans, Vibration Dampening Mount

SILVERSTONE FS-80 is an anti-vibration pad specifically designed for 80 mm case and chassis fans. The pad isolates the fan from the mounting surface, reducing vibration transmission and mechanical resonance that can increase audible noise. It is shaped to fit standard 80 mm fan mounting points and is suitable for installations in computer cases, small enclosures and compact cooling assemblies where quieter operation is desired.

Advantages

The anti-vibration pad reduces transfer of mechanical vibrations from the fan to the case or chassis, lowering perceived noise without altering the fan's operating parameters. Made from vibration-damping material, it offers a simple passive solution that requires no power or configuration changes. Its form factor allows direct placement between the fan and the mounting surface for fast, tool-assisted or tool-free installation depending on the mounting method used.

Подходит для

• Снижения шума в корпусных 80 мм вентиляторах
• Установки в небольших электронных или промышленных корпусах
• Использования в системах охлаждения с компактными вентиляторами
• Применения при модернизации шумопоглощения в ПК и медиахостах

Key specifications

• Designed for 80 mm fans (fits standard 80 mm mounting pattern)
• Vibration-damping elastomer material
• Thin, low-profile pad suitable for confined spaces
• Non-electrical passive component — no power required
• Compatible with typical case and chassis mounting methods

How to use

Place the SILVERSTONE FS-80 pad between the fan and the mounting surface aligned with the fan's mounting holes or contact points. Secure the fan using the original mounting screws or fasteners through the pad where applicable, ensuring the pad is compressed slightly to provide optimal damping. Confirm that the fan is stable and that airflow is not obstructed by the pad. For enclosures with rubber grommets or alternate mounting systems, position the pad to interrupt direct metal-to-metal contact while maintaining secure attachment.

Usage recommendations

For best results use one pad per fan mounting point or as recommended by the enclosure design; inspect after initial operation to ensure the pad remains properly seated. Avoid placing the pad where it could impede fan blades or ventilation openings. Clean mounting surfaces before installation to ensure good contact and replace pads if they show signs of wear, tearing, or loss of elasticity.
