How to set up Pull Config

I have an h105, 2 Noctua NF-F12 fans, and a 750D. Do I just need really long screws or what. The ones I have won't work for going through the mounting holes on the case, through the fans, and into the radiator.

If someone can find pictures or a tutorial video that would be great.

 
Solution
I would just head down to Home Depot and buy some that are long enough, I've had to do that for my custom rads.

Although that seems strange as the NF-F12's are a standard 25mm.. maybe they packed the wrong bolts.

Solution
You would be better mounting a push config, in which you use long included screws to mount the fans to the rad, then the short standard screws though the case to the rad. (I dont have the room so my fans are mounted externally, with included long screws through the case to the rad)
 


I am looking for pull because it is easier to clean after dust gets into it. I also have it in push for now.

Only problem with doing that is if you ever want/need to vacuum out the rad you have to drop both fans, not a huge deal but I like a nice clean case :p
 


I really know nothing about installing fans on radiators and setting them up, this is my first time not having an air cooler.

I have it set up in push for now, but I don't even know what you mean by bolts, I just used the long screws that came with the radiator. They wont work for pull but they are long enough for push. and was I supposed to use the rubber pieces that go underneath the screw when mounting? Because I did not by accident.

most AIO radiators are 6-32 threading. like the h100i or hybrid GPU's. if you are using a 25mm fan you will want 6-32 30mm. my home depot has more options in standard. so i went with 6-32 1 and 1/4 inches. 1 and 1/4 is just over 30mm long.
