how do you mount case fans?

[GasX]

I just got a case fan with no screws or mounting hardware. How do I mount it to the case?

The four corner holes do not line up with the four case holes (2 do) as the fan is wider than the case is set-up for.

thanks

I mounted mine with double sided foam tape. Worked great, I just cut 4 small pieces and attached to each corner.

I used some small, black zip ties that you can find almost anywhere 🙂 They worked well (even on the bigger fans) but they arent the prettiest things to ever come upon!

Visit some local pc repair shops and ask to purchase the case fan screws .............. they will usually give you some if they don't have them for sale....

Or,..... buy the correct size case fan and make sure it comes w/the screws and maby a 4-pin molex pig tail adapter.....?

I had to put my side fans on with adhesive, because the screw were too small to go through the fan and filter, works for me. But if u ever want to take it off, its gonnabe tuff.

I'm using twist-ties for my fans. Well for my 2 exhaust anyway, My intake has a mounting bracket that jsut snapped on and in place.

you could always just drill new holes for the fans. just pencil in the holes, drill it through, then screw it on.

I have used Velcro in the past. Like Wingss said, double sided foam tape!
