I couldent screw the dual 180mm rad into bottom of my case. Could this cause any problems? It can't move side to side at all, touching front and back of case

You'l probably get a good few vibration caused noises. Not sure how good it is for it. 

 

Probably ok for a temp fix until you get it screwed in. 

Bleigh!  Ever hear of AC series?

If you've screwed it in solidly enough such that it doesn't have any degree of freedom (side-side, up-down, front-back, and the 3 axis's of rotation), you should be good. Put some padding at the front and back and game away.

No vibrations I hear

There is no way I can get it in

Oh lol. If it's wedged in there tightly enough, you should still be alright. Just don't move your computer without taking the rad out or taping it down. Either way pad the ends if you can.

It's touching the noise dampening foam so I think it's good

If you can't hear anything it's fine.

 

I don't have my quad 120mm rad in any way attached to the bottom of my TJ07 and there is no movement or vibrations. A rad with fluid in it is fairly heavy and low rpm fans probably won't be a problem in any way.

I suspected you had an FT05 when you said dual 180mm rad actually.

All above posts are valid, and I would suggest using some stick down velcro if you can, that stuff is ultimate.

The first step to insanity is believing in your sanity.

Yeah, it would really only be that or ft02 for dual 180 on bottom. Ft02 would most likely have triple 180 rad
