NZXT S340 Case Fans cant be used as intake fans?[Solved]

[iNoa97]

Ok so my NZXT S340 came yesterday and when i started to assemble my parts and my 120 mm h60 radiator didnt have a radiator mount on the right side mounts so i just decided to put it on one of the mounts on the left, and there was already an export fan there so i just decided to move it and put it as an import fan on the right. So on the right there are 2 120mm fan mounts there, and it's at the front of the case and i want it to be bringing in air through my case, so on their stock fans(NZXT RF-FN122) the little sticker with the NZXT logo is the way the air is being blowed, so i flipped it so the nzxt logo was facing inside the case, and when i went to screw it in, it felt like i was screwing it in not vertically downward, so I tried multiple times to put it in straight and it felt extremely tight before the screw was even 1/4 the way in. So either im just doing it wrong, or they cant be used as intake fans. And i cant put it on the outside of the case because there is a bezille in front of it.

 

If they actually turn out to not be able to put in as intake fans, can someone link me to some good case fans around $5-15

 

Thanks!

 

 

EDIT:

Here are the fan mounts for the NZXT S340

Some case fans arent threaded, so the effort you putting it to screwing the fan in is from you making the threads....

They can't. 

I managed to muscle mine into the screw holes with great force, but it's probably not reccomended. 

Here are some decent ones

Your usage of left and right in place of front and back is making my brain hurt.

 

That said it's odd that NZXT would install the front fans as exhaust. Though as was said above, your difficulty is threading the fans yourself. Take them out and try to put the screws in without involving the case. Or go buy some screws and nuts from your local hardware store.

threading case fans is hard

 

try putting the screw in first outside the case (make sure its mostly straight, doesnt need to be perfect)

then remove the screw, put the fan in the case, and try screwing it in again

 

yes it can be used as intake

Tried using the screw and a drill and made its own thread and when i screwed it into the spot it seemed to work.

Thanks for the help!
