Sharkoon Anti Vibe Magnetic Fan Frame Review

Closer Look
Besides having eight holes for screws and two holes for cable routing, the Anti Vibe Magnetic has four words printed on its sides: Anti Vibe Magnetic and Sharkoon. A very serious and simple design, once again. The black matte finish should blend in with any computer case.

Although the Anti Vibe Magnetic has eight magnets installed in its silicone frame, the magnets are placed only on one face of the frame. In other words, two magnets are found at each of the four corners of the same face of the frame. Obviously, only one side of the frame would be touching the metal computer case, anyway. Thus, putting magnets on both faces of the frame would be a waste. Also, this is an advantage because it avoids close contact of the magnets to other components of a computer. For example, if the Anti Vibe Magnetic was installed as a front intake near the 3 ˝ inch drive bays and it had magnets on both faces, the magnets would be much too close to the hard drives for comfort.

The face of the silicone frame containing the magnets is thicker than the opposing face. This should dampen vibrations even further.

The Sharkoon Anti Vibe Magnetic is made of flexible silicone. By consequence, wrapping the silicone frame around a case fan should not be a problem. Also, its flexibility demonstrates that it should absorb vibrations very well.
