I just started my bow build and I am replacing the two front 140mm fans on the 780T with three 120mm fans but I can not find which holes yo mount them in. Please help!!

Well I know for a fact that its possible, because when mine arrives next week I am doing the same thing and I have seen it done many times

 

Have a look at the MB Manual

Okay I found out that I have to mount them on the inside, but there are no bolts to secure them in place.

Seeing this picture though, I see it is possible, but the fans don't appear to be screwed in. Possibly having the fans on the other side screwed in would do the trick.

Well I got them all on but without bolting them in as the second picture shows. It has to be said, this is a bit of an oversight by Corsair. With the front mesh on however it seems to hold them in place well enough. Thanks for all the tips.

The screws should come with the fans - check the packaging they came in.

To attach them you need to remove the three HDD cages ( three SSD mounts latch to the rear of the motherboard tray - it's easiest to remove these to build in, but less work if you can work around them ) and screw them into the chassis from the inside. This is because of the mesh that goes over the front panel - it doesn't bear weight. It also allows radiators to be directly attached to the frame since it can bear more weight.
