Case airfilter won't fit over the screws

[chrisvaffel]

Ok so this might sound a bit stupid, but here I go anyways. So I recently bought a NZXT Kraken x62 to cool my processor, and mounted it in the front of my Corsair 400c case. But it turns out that the screws that hold the fans and the radiator are a little more bulky/ big at the tip. So now my frontpanel airfilter won't connect properly with its magnets and such, because the screws are in the way. At the moment i have just put some tape one the side of the airfilter to prevent some unwanted dust. Does anyone have a smart, perhaps more long term solution to this problem? I think the screws are 3cm or something like that.

Have you tried putting it ontop off the case and not at the side?

Well it could work. But I would prefer to keep it in the front, mainly because it serves the airflow i want better and I think it generally looks better in my build. Also im not sure if it would fit the top because of some stash on my motherboard :C
