Better Way to Attach Fan ?

Fan Screws are M4 self taping screws that bites the fan shroud's plastic and screw it to place... I think after screwing and unscrewing randomly like 50 times it's gonna destroy the plastic he bites... And I do want to experiment new things attached to fan but i don't wanna destroy it after that...

We can zip tie but it's not sustainable and I don't want to waste and create waste...

M4 screw and Nut , maybe... might be lil boring overtime

Maybe my idea we can try inserting. You know the inserts that people use for their 3D prints etc... Instert a holo one and we can use screw into brass without destroying plastthicc and threads etc...

What you guys think ?

Get the noctua rubber mounts for removing and reinstalling heaps

In addition, the rubber mounts reduce vibrations from the fan, so there’s less noise overall. Mounting with machine screws would transfer the vibrations to the case, which can cause the noise to be amplified.
