Corsair 200R

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help. I've got the two case fans as front intake and rear exhaust (H50 cooler). I'm looking to attach these fans http://www.thermalright.com/html/pro...0.html?panel=0 as one side intake and a top exhaust but not sure which screws are needed?

Also, i'm getting a buzzing sound from the case which stops when I press against the side panel. Any tips on how to stop this?

Thanks in advance.

I would use the screws marked here



As for the buzzing sound, check your side panel's top and bottom tabs and see if they are properly inserted to the channel in the side of the chassis.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried those screws but they get stuck a quarter of the way through. Do I just force them through?

Are these brand new fans?
If so, then apply a bit more force.
Screws going into a brand new plastic fan frame need to bite in to create a thread, so the first time you install them requires a bit more force.
Not too much, mind - You don't want to do these up with The Power Of Grayskull or anything. But enough to cinch them flush. There should be a more definite resistance when they are fully nipped up.

^ This.

This is not common with brand new fans a little nudge should to the trick.

Really?
Every fan I've had has been like this... Corsair SP, Enermax, SilverStone, Noctua.

Maybe it's just me, then...

It's almost half Four in the afternoon, man...!
Have you only just gotten out of bed, or do you have a frighteningly high tolerance to caffeine?
