5.25 secure question

How much do I need to secure stuff in the 5.25?

The Corsair 750D only allow full set of screws on 1 side. On the other I can only fit 1 plus a tab thing.

 

I got an Aquaero and 2 hard drives with heatsinks.

The Aquaero gets 3 of 4 screws, while the the hard drives get 5 of 8.

I speak my mind, sorry if thats a problem.

2 screws is usiually fine if its not really heavy, then i would say maby 3-4

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

The heatsink is 790g by it self, so 1,2kg to 1,5kg depending on the hard drive?

 

The main thing that might be an issue, is that its only secured well on 1 side. As the other is 1 screw and a tab thing.

i dont think it would be a problem, as long as there is one side that holds it good the other side will have less of the stress and i think you will be ok with this :D
