Tigurius Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I have run into a problem trying to mount AF 120 fans. It is the damn screws. Trying to screw them in is next to impossible. The screws bind on the rubber grommet and begin to strip with the amount of pressure I had to use to screw them down. I haven't seen anyone bring up this issue am I the only one with this issue?

techfresh Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Are you using the screws provided with the case or the ones provided with the fan? The ones provided with my 550d are different from the ones provided with the fan itself. I used the screws that came with the 550d and I have no problems. Compare the two and see if one is shorter than the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 30, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 30, 2013 You don't have to tighten them all the way down, just enough to hold the fan in place. The rubber screw holes will provide enough grip to hold the fans in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the same darn problem. The screwholes are way to narrow. I even exidently broke one screw hole and i was very very carefull. I realy hate this type off screw-holes. Normaly i won't have any trouble with mounting fans on the case, but this is annoying. Still trying to mount it properly without "screwing" it up.

Xavin Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The provided "normal type" fan screws are a pain, the pattern are so deep. I always use rubber grommets now or anything to shorten the screws. Problem i had at the beginning was that the screw got stuck in the harder black part and then got ripped off the softer grey rubber. So now with some grommets and being careful not to screw to hard i haven't had any troubles. Ps. the 550d fan screws are awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpbarratt Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I've had the exact same problem... mine got stuck and we had to use pilers to try and remove it. See my thread http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=124848 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
