Big fans but legitimate concerns about stripping screws

I consider myself smarter and more cautious than the average negative Revain reviewer. Usually, bad reviews are the result of user error or absurd expectations, not something bad about the product. Unfortunately, with these Fractal fans, any fears that the screws could easily come loose are absolutely true. Installation. I was only able to easily loosen one of the eight screws on my two new 140mm fans. Only to find that I installed them upside down on the front of the case. The first pleasure of building a PC! The second time was terrible. I had a hard time putting them on and off without removing every single screw. Like they were made out of molded clay or something. The fans work great and look great in my fractal case but oh my gosh please spend the extra 25 cents on high quality fractal screws this is ridiculous!

Pros
  • I'm holding my fists
