Corsair's new fans will ship with a redesigned fan screw that features a wider thread pitch, so that one full turn will insert the screw completely into your fan mounting holes.

Not a bad idea. But I generally avoid fan screws whenever possible and prefer the silicon fan mounts to keep any vibrations from the fan from transferring to the case.

i mean for me personally not my thing (i enjoy having having random spare screw if i misplace one) but for some people could see this being a good thing.

This is awesome. Will definitely be buying more Corsair stuff for now on. I've always had a problem with accidentally overturning those and shredding the screw slot (what I feel is a tiny bit of force is usually way way more then I think) having these would absolutely fix this. They just need to develop a rad that has more then 1mm of thread lol.

I'd love a screwdriver-free PC assembly experience, personally. Mostly because screwdriver slips are a potential danger to the motherboard.

Imsure they did their testing but i have bad taste in my mouth after some of the crap i purchased off wayfair. I have a feeling they're going to vibrate loose

hard pass from me. the standard screws work fine and dont come with a corsair tax

I'd rather have the silicone inserts that Noctua uses, those work just fine IMO.

Corsair is adapting Apple’s innovation strategy, time to avoid their stuff now

Wonder how much more fore one must assert against the screw in order to get it through.

I think I'll stay with the old type screws, and tries to use torx screws whenever possible.
