I received my WAterchill Radiator today.

Radiator RDT02 120mm w. 1/2" fittings (Modified Black Ice Pro II)

Dual fans!

I can get the fans locally but how about the screws?

Which ones do I use?

Should I use the screws that are normally used to install fans on tower cases?

Good question, i would like to know this as well :)

Even though, you should use a shroud between the fans and radiator, for the air to flow through the radiator. If you just screw the fans to the radiator, you'll notice, all the air hits the radiator, but comes back, and doesnt really flow through it.

And you can't just go screwing screws into that radiator... you wouldnt want screw a hole in it would you? ;)

I would either fix it with ducttape, (i've done that now), or make a shroud, and fix the fans to that shroud :)


Edit, or does that one have pre-drilled holes?

i used m3 with bolts... and i cut the m3 screw to the right lenght and had a bolt in each side of it. shroud sux.. just taking up a lot of unnecessary room.
