How do you fix fans to a 120.3 rad?

[MikeHunt79]

I bought a 120.3 rad a while ago from MM, but it didn't come with any screws to attach the fans.

Where can I get these screws from? I tried some M3 bolts, and they didn't work... does anyone know the thread that is used, or should I try some self tappers?

I think the rad is the PA120.3, but I'm not 100% sure on that...

You could contact thermochill direct, I'm sure they will help you out. You could use self tappers but be VERY carefull not to puncture the rad.

I'm using yate loons, which have 4 long screw holes instead of 8 small ones, so I'm gonna have to get some real long screw... I think I found some at screwfix, and it should work safely with any luck.

I've found some at screwfix - I'll pay 'em a visit tomorrow... I've got a sheet of metal I can put over the fins to protect them.

id put a rubber washer between the fan and rad or another solution for stopping vibration then use zip ties/tie wraps

Contact Thermochill if you don't want to pay for them

Their customer service is excellent, sending me 8x37mm screws, neoprene gasket and a bleed key. Very quick response from them and helpful!

For closed corner fans such as the old rev Nexus and YateLoon (current revs are open cornered now), use 3.5x38mm Sheet Metal Screws.
