NH-U12F fan installation

Hi,

Im trying to put the fan on my NH-U12F, but I cant figure out what the heck Im supposed to do with these clips.
The manual is of no help.

Anyone have and pics of how it should go?

The long thin clips are to hold the fan in place.

THIS might give you an idea.

they had be confused for a few minutes first time I encountered them.

Sorry for the crappy mobile photo but the bent bits at the end clip into and rest in the holes on the fan. They don't go through the holes or anything like that, which is probably what you've tried to do.

They felt like the were going to break when I put them on mine the first time, took me about 15-30 mins to get them on.

No matter how much your brain tells you
"there's no way these will fit mate, just give up and buy something else"

they do fit! and it cools really well!

Just don't forget to stick those damping-strips on first, or you have to go through the whole process again

EH?!

Edit: NM I misread all the posts, thought you were all on about the mounting clips.
