Need more screws

Minibiker · 19 Jun 2017 at 18:56

Hi all

I'm currently in the process of putting together my build and installing Fans in the case, However, I need more fan screws to fit my Thermaltake riings... the stock NZXT s340 fans in the case had short fat screws which I've used... where on OCUK's site can I find more screws please

Thank you

If you can avoid them try not using screws and use these rubber anti-vibration mounts instead. Much better than screws. I don't think they actually sell fan screws on here. If you really need them try Ebay.

These look great how do they fit in, is it just push through from the outer side of the case

Basically yes. They have a notch in the head which settles in the fan screw hole so you can't pull them all the way through. You then thread the "tail" through the screw holes in the fan and pull it to stretch it out while sliding the fan onto it. You will reach a point where you will feel the fan settle into place. They really are very good and I use them on all my fans these days. These are the ones I use and are a different design to the Noctua ones that OCUK sell, cheaper too. If you look at the picture you can see the notch in the head that I was on about and then the fan settles between the two raised bits. You will be left with quite a long section of the tail sticking out of the fan but you can always cut that off if you like.

Thanks for this bud I will definitely get these mounts I think it will look tidier and less vibrations
