Anyone tried putting 120mm fans in the front of an Enthoo Evolv?

I removed the two front 140mm fans from my Evolv today in order to replace them with quieter 120mm fans but the spacing for the screws simply dont line up.

I've tried fitting an NF-F12 and an Akasa Apache 120mm and neither one lines up correctly. According to the product description the case is definitely meant to accommodate 120mm fans.

[Edit] The other problem is that there is nothing for the screws to actually screw in to for 120mm fans so god knows how Phanteks expect people to use 120mm fans.

Anyone else had trouble with this?

Nope, mine went straight in. You have long thing slots, not holes. Screw one side, fan the other. (Did mine on my evolv mATX)

Yeah it was the long thing slots I was trying to use but they're too far apart for any of my 120mm fans. Also, in those long thin slots there's nothing for the screw to thread in to and hold the fan securely in place.

The thread goes into the fan. There should be multiple slot widths. What fans are you using?

NF-12 and Apache Blacks. I'll try and take some pics tomorrow.
