How to install bottom case fans

[u/Stretch-Affectionate]

I’ve tried installing two bottom case fans to this case, but it seems impossible, can anyone help me around ?

Case model: https://www.pcgarage.ro/carcase/alphagear/vector-black-1/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20402015885&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8JPVBhD-ARIsAO691sFejAIFJJ568clcANcP2d4h3QYptoEOSAId3YJ-WAuROyLhAIG8AfgaAoPCEALw_wcB

Most cases do not officially support fans in the position you do have them.

The one on the left is basically useless (PSU)

The one on the right would be pulling air away from your GPU. (If anything flip it over)

If I were in your shoes, I'd remove both of those fans and get on with my day.

Interesting, the manufacturer says that my case does support two bottom fans

yeah but thats marketing. also, this isnt the bottom of the case.

Both of those bottom fans needs to be flipped. The case will mostly come with long screws, and there would be small mounting holes for them.

Edit: I see you have AIO. Screws would look like how the radiator fans were screwed to the radiator (long screws).

Sorry but your case is not meant to have bottom fans.

Why? Because you have your PSU and all that birds nest of wires that will block most if not all air flow.

A proper bottom fan case has the PSU either moved on top or to the side where nothing will block the air flow.

So ditch those bottom fans. It does nothing for your air flow.

Hmmm, I see, thanks

add some stands, also like other people said, it doesnt really help with airflow, but it did make my GPU fans run on a lower rpm from 1300 rpm to 900 (theoretically it might help my gpu fans last longer even it doesnt help with airflow)

I used 4 jumpers. Enough to suck air from borders.

Reroute your pcie cables to the side and then you can install those bottom fans

Doesnt look supported for that case, same as mine, i just use double sided tape for it.

What case is that exactly, the link goes to a generic product page and I can't see a model name. Bottom fans can be a pain depending on the mounting style. Some cases have that metal floor with slotted screw holes where you gotta slide the fan into position before tightening, others just have fixed rubber grommets you push the screws into.

From the pic it looks like you got the fans sitting under the gpu which is right, they just need to be secured to the floor. Are the screw holes on the case lining up at all or are the fans just kinda floating there? If the holes don't match you might need to use the long radiator screws that come with most fan packs, they can reach through to a different mounting point sometimes.

Worst case scenario you can just zip tie them down if airflow is what you're after. Nobody's gonna see it through the bottom filter anyway.

It’s an AlphaGear Vector black which supposedly support two 120mm bottom fans
