OldJoe Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hi. I bougt this 120mm Fractal design case-fan, and i tried to screw it into place... But it's not working very well. I haven't used these "plastic screws" before, so i don't know (the ones that i've installed before has just been to screw in place with normal screws - np). It comes with 4 plastic screws and 4 metallic ones. How am i supposed to screw it into place? pic: [hide=][/hide] Thanks. J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDaStudd Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 They push into the corners (they might only go half way throught the fan).

pryomancer Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 As you screw it in, it creates its own thread. Takes a bit of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordkafei Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hope its OK if I hijack the thread. I am wanting to put a case fan in my tower. I bought a Thermaltake 90x90x25 with a 3-pin connector. Turns out, the wire is too short to reach my motherboard jack. It's about 6" long and comes up a few inches short of reaching. Can anyone recommend a case fan with a longer wire? Is splicing the wire a safe option?

JoeDaStudd Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The length of the wires vary form brand to brand. You can get away with extending the wires yourself, but I would only recommend it if you know what your doing and don't plan and moving the fan or case around a lot. I simply used the wire of a old/broken fan and soldered it to the new fan (still working 6 months on \ ). I think you can get hold of a extension lead for it, but I've not been looking for one recently so I wouldn't know where to find one.

OldJoe Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Well a bit of force helped. But it's kinda weird. I don't think you should need to use a bit of strength just to get the screws in, but but... It was only 10. Temp dropped a couple of degrees aswell.

pryomancer Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 As long as the connection is stable and the fan works, it's probably not too big a deal about the fixings, as long as they are holding it up. Like I said before, the holes are smooth (from what I see in the picture), so when you try to put the screws in, it has to make the spiral thread itself as it gets twisted through, so it's bound to be tougher than a normal fixing.

I think your description tipped me off (I had no idea what such a thing would be called). This looks like what I need.

Doomster Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Yes, but flaming expensive! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... _-12189006 If $1.99 at Newegg is too dear, then how about $1 http://www.2cooltek.com/3-pin-fan-extension-cable.html http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6812119147 - Better still $0.99, it's sleeved (UV), and if there is anything else you need to get from there (for delivery), it's a bargain In the end, comes down to who is cheaper on delivery.
