Lendon--95

1) Yes, that happened to me a couple of times with cheap fans 2) Not always true 3) Obviusly, check the length of the cable 4) no comment on this 5) this is a general advice , some people still build PCs with old compenents 6) like, 1% of the case . The ones big enough to work without limitations.

6:38 NEVER EVER do that. The fan motor is fragile. You don't "break" the fan but it can start make noises. 9:08 If you do that, then re-apply the thermal paste. Otherwise there 's gonna be air gaps in the paste. 11:12 That's a really silly idea. Just wrap the cable around the fan's frame. 16:50 Sure in that way it'll looks better but it'll be a nightmare if you need to replace that fan 23:50 Check the Motherboard manual to make sure that you are plugging the sata cable in a sata 3 port. Don't choose it randomly. 31:12 Definitely pre-install your cables.
