    Edit by mashie - Do not steal bandwith, host the images yourself.

    To my great surprize the screws that came with the fans are totally worthless. For those that own one or more of these fans I wonder how did you screw em on to your case and or heatsink?

    In short what screws should I use on these fans to my Lian-Li case ?

    Thanks in advance.

    What kind of problems did you have with those screws? I just put a 120 mm aluminum fan of that kind in my case and the screws worked fine. I used an electric screw driver because the screws have to go through the metal of the aluminum fan frame.

    Just bought a couple of M4 screws and bolts and it worked fine, looks good too. I don't know how to mount the last fan on my Alpha heatsink, it is the same fan as above. Any ideas then give me a bling bling.

    Thanks for the tips :p
