Photos Part Four: The Cooler and Fans (continued)
The fan mounts took some figuring out, but once set up I like them quite a bit. Mostly because the wire bits stay on the fan when you remove it. No more dropping wires, having wires pop out or any other such issues. If it means it takes longer for initial setup that’s fine with me, usually wire clips annoy me at best, but these I like.
First you take four of the black loophole things and put them through the fan’s screw holes on the intake side:
Once you’ve done that, the wire clips go through so that the clip can attach to the fan like this:
What is very impressive is that this cooler actually fits the tiny Zotac Z77-ITX-A-E board (review soon!) and does so even with ram that has very tall heatspreaders!
It is just set in place in the photo, but everything lines up without interference.
