Hi. I recently purchased a Corsair h100i v2 240mm AIO cooler. I noticed that there is a gap between the fans and the radiator due to the screws being too long. That also causes audible vibration on the case. My idea was to install two 120mm fan gaskets under the fans.

My question is, is it better to get two 120mm gaskets or a single 240 radiator gasket, and if the part of the gasket(the 120 one) that touches the radiator could maybe melt and damage the radiator?

Thank you. :)

There's nothing hot enough to melt anything touching radiator but it may be better to take action about screws, something is not right there.

Yes, the screws being too long is a known problem with the h100i v2. Thank you for the reply :)

Take one screw to a hardware store and find something shorter of same size. There's nothing explicitly made for computers and parts, there's always something else to fit.
On the other hand, a soft silicone gasket may help against vibrations if fans don't already have rubber/silicone inserts. It has to be very soft material to work well against vibrations.
