Case Fan Screws are to Small

[chimpbagel]

Hello,
I bought a Aerocool Strike-X One today, and a Cooler Master Standard 120 MM Fan.
The 4 Screws I got are simply just to small.
Sorry for my bad grammar,

Thanks

As I don't think cooler master will waste shipping on sending you some scews, try some rubber screws:

they are hard to install but reduce vibration and fit a variety of screw sizes. Please note there are also different size rubber screws aside for the one above, so if you think it's too small just get one size bigger with the rubber screws. They can squeeze quite a bit.

No,
is there not any other solution?
I don't want to waste more money...

Without spending money?

Do you have any screws laying around that would be the correct size?
Did you remove a fan to add this one?

No, and no but the screws should fit, right?

They should, I have never had a fan that came with special screws. Unless the fan you bought is really small (less than 120mm) they should fit. If not your fan was shipped with the wrong screws.

Well then I'm fucked.

Do you have some twine or metal string? That's a good temp if your strapped for cash. Zip ties also work

go to the hardware store, bring your fan
