Where can you get fan clips?

So I have a Noctua U14S, and I want to attach another fan to it for push/pull. To do that I need another set of fan clips, and I cannot find them anywhere. So I am hoping someone knows how you can get a set?

 

This is really mind blowing to me that I could not find it on Amazon or NewEgg. Does no one ever add a fan? Or break a clip?

Have you tried contacting Noctua for more clips?

Did you get a receipt in the mail for the form? If so, they may take up to 7 working days to respond and will likely provide fan clips for you with proof of purchase for the cooler.

I guess Noctua includes 4 clips, a pair is already installed, the other 2 are there in the package together with the other accessories.

Get Sapim Laser, DT Revolution or similar butted spokes with very thin midsection, and bend them to the required shape :) 

Just kiddin' though.

Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: )

It's also mind blowing for me if a premium air cooler company like Noctua doesnt include more fan clips to give their users the option to add a fan in their "premium" air cooler products out of the box.

 

Noctua usually includes 2 more clips inside a plastic pouch which contain all the accessories for us to install additional fan.

Have two fans. Didn't loose the clips. Or break them. How you would go on breaking steel wire with normal operations anyway?

They e-mailed me back yesterday night. Just asked for my address and proof of purchase, and said they'd send them to me free of charge.

 

Product page says my U14S came with an extra pair, I don't have them. I don't remember having them, but I cannot rule out having them ending up in the collection of stuff that gets toss in the trash after a build.

 

Still find it odd this is not something you can just buy, like the replacement fan, or mounting bracket, but if they are giving them out free I guess thats why.
