Additional CPU fan

[Bidley]

Hope this is in the right section!

I'm using the Akasa Nero 3 cooler on my 4670k, and I want to add an extra fan to exhaust from the other side of the heat sink. The issue I'm having is physically attaching it.

The 120mm fan that came with the cooler is held on by right-angled rubber pins, and I can't for the life of me find any more of these to fit an extra fan on the opposite side. There are identical mounting holes so it is designed for another fan.

Is there a DIY option? Or am I just a dumbass and using the wrong keywords to hunt for those angled grommets?

Have you tried contacting akasa directly? It can be a pain contacting manufacturers directly, but i have found them to be quite helpful in the past. If not you can always ghetto mount another fan on with paper clips, they work surprisingly well.

Good idea, I'll fire off an email.
