I have a Corsair 120t rgb case and I'm trying to install sp120 rgb pro fans and the are so freaking hard to put in. Please help! The screws are stripping and I could only get 1 screw in!

What screws are you trying to use for the fan?

The ones that came with the fans and the case.

Okay. My recommendation would be to make sure you're straight with the fan and put a lot of downward pressure into it. Make sure you're using a PH2 bit. You are basically cutting threads into the fan plastic, so it will take some force.

Edit: those are the correct screws.

Is this ph2?

I can't tell is it's PH2 from the picture. When you hold a screw in the bit can it move at all?

That's really strange then. Maybe they're really poor quality screws or the screwdriver bit could be warn out.

You could just buy some rubber vibration dampening connector thingies (not sure on the proper name) - easy to install with the advantage of some noise reduction.

 

If not though, be sure your screwdriver is an appropriate size, and it can take a bit of force to screw these into fans.
