Unusable CPU fans

Completely unusable. The bracket design on this one is rubbish. The back panel uses these small, partially threaded studs. If you put them in the motherboard and then screw them on the other side, they can't be tightened enough because, as mentioned, they're partially threaded, not fully threaded. Thus, the bracket moves completely away from the motherboard. How does it get through quality assurance and into mass production? Save yourself the headache and buy the Noctua NH-U12S, which is basically the same price and overall design, except for the amazingly simple and solid mount!

Pros
  • There's something in there
Cons
  • No paint needed
