hi..i hope someone can help me or advise me on this. im tempted to just call my retailer at this point and get them to install it for me. but was hopeing somone els that has this card can advise me on how to do this. my problem is mounting the fan to the rad..i can not do it. only 2 of them seem to bite to the rad..but the other 2 seem to be imposible..iv tryd for hours with no luck and im fed up. is my unit bust or somthing.. i swear it should not be this hard to mount a fan to a rad.
 
Solution
test the screws in the holes with out the fan--dont need to screw all the way down though as no idea if theres anything

below the holes that could get punctured by screwing in too far

do they screw in then?

if not something wrong with the holes

either the thread or too small/big
never used one of those hybrid cards

but mounted plenty fans to rads so no it shouldnt be difficult

unless theres something wrong with

1--the screws

2--the holes for the screws on the rad

technically its possible to only use 2 screws if its diagonally opposite corners

but 4 screws is obviously better but i have mounted fans with only 2 screws before on opposite corners

i was unable to get it diagonally..the screws that bite with the holes are oposet eachother on the same side. iv allso try diffrent screws and same problem...so the unit is bust then.
