Can you install PC case fans without screws?

Detevtive Marvel · Mar 20, 2016

I have an Antec One s3 but I can't install a front fan cause the screw holes are tiny, can I use double sided tape or something?

You can use double-sided tape, but I wouldn't expect it to hold as long as a screw.

What do you mean the screw holes are tiny?

ThatVietGuy :

The screw holes, where you put the screws to hold the fan are tiny and I can't find screws for it

Are you sure you're looking at the correct holes? You only use 2 of them.

"Front intake 120 mm fan
1. Remove the front bezel as outlined in Section 2.2.
2. Align the fan with the screw holes and screw in the
fan in the top - left and lower - right holes (as pictured).
3. Screw in the long fan screws (E in Section 1.3)."

Those screws should have come with your case. Their use is described above by USAFRet.

Then you should look to buy some.

Just to be clear, have you identified the two and only two screw holes that are used for this?

Top left & lower right.

USAFRet :

Yes but I can't find screws for that

USAFRet · Mar 20, 2016

Detevtive Marvel :

The case originally came with screws for that. You should be able to order some from...somewhere.

I've tried for months but couldn't so thats why I'm asking if double sided tape will work instead

Will it work? For a while, probably.
Try it. It's only tape. Not a perm solution. Maybe try Velcro.
