On the topic of Cooler Master H500 and Noctua 200mm fans

[spookyfungus]

Hey all! I’ve been trying to set up the H500 case with the 200mm Noctua fans in the front exactly as seen in the LTT video “This Ugly PC Will BLOW YOUR MIND“ but I’ve seem to run into a problem where the anti vibration mounts are just a little too big to even fit through the holes. While watching said video I notice a giant jumpcut right as he actually installs the mounts, so I wonder, should I need to do any special prep work on the case? Or is pulling this damn mount with all my might eventually going to work? Thanks!

 

(sorry if this has been asked before, i really suck at searching through forums lol)

Pull em through, they shouldn't snap, though in my experience they get uncomfortably close when trying to install them. Or just use screws, any Noc fans that aren't Redux come with rubber corners that keep vibrations down so using screws shouldn't be a prob.
