How does this attach to fan housing - trying to replace missing grille that had 3 slot screw flanges at 12,4,8 that attached via screws to the housing

The grill pictured by the Universal Metal Industries has one screw centered in the middle and it is the only screw that attaches the grill.

rig it lol. I have one rigged to the front at the bottom, I bent the metal corners of the black metal screen to hold it.No actual fan slot afaik.I would do intake from the bottom, just use something to screen dust.

There are clips on the four edges that attach directly to the fan. Seems to hold pretty well, I've had no problems.

No simple way. There are 8 screws that would appear to separate the two halves of the cover. I've never removed them. The instruction leaflet that comes with the fan states:The fan grills not supposed to be disassembled by user (exact wording, including incorrect grammar). Recommend to use a small paint brush and vacuum to clean the fan blades.

Mine does not quite match the current picture on Amazon, which shows two fan grills with mounting holes. Mine has a single grill without no screw holes. I don't often use discreet video cards on my business computer builds so I have no use for a side fan, but I do appreciate the large fan up front to move in cool air over the hard drives. - The I.T.

Yes it does. Everything is the same. In fact, you can remove a couple of screws from the inside and replace the fan and light assembly without removing your old housing. I found this out after crawling around in the attic to remove mine..

Mine was attached with a set screw. However, it required a longer than normal Allen wrench to go through the fan blade drum to get to the set screw. An automotive shop where I've had my vehicles serviced for years had a set of long wrenches. They were able to get the fan drum off the old motor and attach it to the new motor for me.

Hey TNG, I had the same problem. The holes in the frame of the fan are drilled smooth and not threaded. The coarse thread screws provided with the fan must be screwed into the fan frame BEFORE you try to install it, so that the screws will go in and seat to the threads. Another problem I had with mine was the hole spacing. Two holes were about 3/32 to 1/8" off, so the screws went in at a slight angle, but it held securely with no rattling. All in all it's a great fan once it's installed. Hope this helps...

your case should have come with 4 long thin screws, when u remove the front panel near the bottom you will see sets of screw holes in 4 corners, the fan gets mounted facing out from the front of case and that is where the long screws come into play, u will feed the long screws through the the entire fan holes and screw in to the case

I bought this product because of how it installs. It comes with a bracket that has to be installed underneath the motherboard. This bracket provides the screw holes for the screw mounts on the fan/heatsink. This is a much more secure way of mounting the unit and my system has been running much more efficiently.

If you look at the picture in the ad, you can see a mounting slot just under the fan on the unit. There is another tab on the opposite corner.

I will tell you that, to me, I do not find the task very easy, but this is just my opinion. On the back of each individual fan grill, you will notice that on the back, you will see 4 small screws inside the back of both fan grills. I would suggest you use a flashlight to find the screws. You must unscrew all four screws to be able to take the grills apart for cleaning, and then you must screw them back in, again, to secure both grills before using the fans. I will say that this fan is a great buy, but you would have to decide if you would want to unscrew the grills for cleaning. Hope this helps you make your decision.

there are 4 screws at the top, and 4 screws at the bottom, depending on what side of the fan you are attaching it, you will need only 4 holes to connect to the heat sink. there are 2 wires, black and red, so there are not 4 wires , but pin wise it is a 3 pin

The side door has eight holes. I am guessing it is for various fan sizes. They are not threaded, so you would screw through the case into the fan housing holes. I can't say if the screws came with the case, because I always toss extra screws in a container.

It works but only the center holes will line up. You'll have to drill screw holes on each end into the fan casing to line up with the mounting holes in the case. Needless to say, the fans must be mounted next to the case, not the radiator.
