Is it safe if my CPU cooler fan is touching the tempered glass of my case?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I recently added another stick of 16GB DDR5 RAM to my setup, and in the process, I had to move my CPU cooler fan up. Now it's touching the tempered glass side of my case. I'm really concerned about whether this is okay or if it might cause the glass to shatter. Any advice would be super helpful!

As long as the fan isn't vibrating against the glass and making a lot of noise, you should be fine. But if it is causing some vibrations, I'd be cautious. Just keep an eye on it!

I had a similar issue with my cooler a while back, and it ultimately made me switch cases. Tempered glass can break from too much vibration, so it might be a good idea to either get a new case or at least remove the glass panel for better airflow.
