(quick question) Superglue and a case fan will it work?
« on: July 02, 2011, 07:22:02 AM »
well i saw another topic about super glue and it reminded me of the *censored* of a time i was having finding screws for my old 120mm case fan. and i just wondered if heavy duty super glue would keep the fan in place?

    The issue is slightly different as there is NO electrical interference issue in your case BUT as in the other case again it needs to be stated that you may NOT ever be able to remove it again should it become necessary. truenorth

    I used 4 small nylon wire ties on one of my fans but a small dab of silicone sealer at each corner should work and be relatively easy to remove. Of course you'll need to allow for some drying time with silicone.

    sorry about the late reply, removal wont be an issue with me, if any issues arise with it, there's nothing stopping me disconnecting it.
