Hello LTT-Forum,

I've recently bought a CM Force 500, and I don't seem to be able to mount 2x 120mm on the left side like they advertise unless I got a radiator of some sort, they did include 8x "rad screws" for the fans, but they're used in the front, anyone else with the same case in here that can help me or what can I do?

 

Thanks in advance.

Wouldn't that void a warranty?

Possibly. If your warranty is already passed, you can hardly break the case by drilling a small hole for a screw to go through. But again, do it at your own risk.
