Is vibration bad for my computer?

When im playing a graphically intense game my fans start speeding up, mainly my GPU fans to keep it nice and cool however it starts to vibrate and i can feel it on my desk a bit. Just wondering if that is bad and should i get some rubber things to put underneath my computer to prevent vibration, or is it not a problem?

    Yes, it's bad for any mechanical devices such as the hard drive. However, the vibration from the fan should be negligible. I wouldn't worry about anything.

    its all good, they are suppose to do that to try and keep the temps where they should be, plus it is summer, dont worry, if you want them to not make as much noise, get a fan and place it directly in the front of a vent preferably in the front of the computer, if not the side but the front is better

    it will keep the computer cooler and the fans wont spin up so loud after that

    Well, if it can play games like that you want to keep it protected. Something can go loose it it if it was harsh enough. But just throw something underneath of it. just so you cant feel it anymore, or at least just not as intense.
