Mounting custom fans on cpu cooler

well you can use rice... yeah when i grew up, we learned to use rice to glue everything back together...
(sarcasm)

But seriously what fan and cooler are you talking about would help us out in telling you how to mount it.
 
The 2 heat sinks you linked are different...

which one is it?

The top one is easy... Just put a fan in the middle between the two towers.
The second one will require Zipties if you dont have the original mounting brackets.

Both(I have 2 pc's).

Both have 1 fan as in the picture. I want to try a push-pull configuration with 2 fans(maybe 3 fans with the first cooler) to see if it increases airflow enough to make a difference.
 
For the second one I would try contacting the seller to see if they can sell you the fan clips seperately.

For the first, I think getting creative with some zip ties is probably your only real option.

These are generic no name Chinese coolers and you aren’t likely to find parts for them anywhere. That said I’d bet they are actually a reasonably good deal on the price vs performance scale.

Overall though, I doubt the end result will ultimately be worth the hassle.

Thanks, guess I'll try getting creative. Not expecting anything, just doing it for kicks.

The first one with 4 heatpipes performs exceptionally well given the price. Would definitely recommend.

Getting one with 6 heatpipes soon, also generic china cooler from ebay.
