excellent fit ad did the job , good value for money

I've had issues previously when building computers that metal cases have ended up vibrating, while this can be solved for a while with a gentle tap to the offending case side, it's not ideal. Other computer builders have recommended using rubber pins rather than metal screws or adding silicon anti-vibration stickers to the case side. With these screws not costing too much I decided to try them out as a replacement to my current metal screws.I'm very glad I ended up buying them as they're so much easier to use than metal screws. Screwing in some fans was very difficult previously as the metal screws struggled to go into the rubber of the fan mount. With these mounting pins it takes just seconds to pull them through the fan and case then (once you're sure you're not removing them!) trim the mount pin's tail with scissors. Since using these I've had no problems at all with the case humming. Even without considering the humming, I think the PC may be quieter than ever, although that might just be the placebo effect.It may seem like a silly extra expense that only the guys who spent £800 on computers would go for, but as someone who values a reliable and affordable PC over LEDs and case windows I'd say this is definitely worth it.One piece of advice I'd give is not to be afraid to give the mounting pins a good tug when affixing them! Don't be super-gentle with them when trying to get the case and fan to click into place. A good strong tug on the long end gets it through and most things clicking into place.

They're really good quality pc fan holder and they hold the fans very firmly in place and reduce vibration.

I have a lot of fans in my case and was getting a lot of case noise when fitted with screws. I decided to purchase these as I've never used anything like these before. Installation is fairly easy but can be tricky to feed the mounts through the fans mounting points. I did have a couple of these break when installing so keep that in mind as you might not have enough to mount 5 fans with it. Also they are extremely difficult to remove once fitted so you are better off just cutting them to remove a fan.Once fitted though almost all case noise was gone (that mechanical vibration sound where the case makes contact with the fan). If you have fan filters on your case these may interfere with them as the Akasa mounts don't fit flush and have a raised bump as shown in my photos). I decided on these over the Noctua equivalent Noctua NA-SAV2 as I didn't want brown mounts as my case is black and it would have looked odd. Also these are a little cheaper and do the same thing. Overall I am very happy with these. Installation might be tricky but the results are excellent with a massive noise reduction from my PC fans compared to using traditional metal screws.

Recently built a new PC, and unfortunately the front case fans I had were making all sorts of rattling noises, but thankfully replacing the screws with these rubber fan mounts fixed the problem in no time at all. Fantastic product, super easy to install and great value.

I was dubious at first as I'd seen other builds with these but never seemed to fit right and seemed loose. I thought as I'm installing so many fans in my new build that I'd give these a try and boy! I'm glad I did. It saved time and the vibrations stopped plus lowered noise and so so easy to install fans in tight spaces!Honestly give these a go you won't regret it! My only worry was running out and having to buy more 😀

This is not a bad product, I'm sure. My review is a warning to others hoping to fit these mounts to smaller fans like 40mm or 50mm diameter. These fans can often be relatively noisy because of their small size. Some cases only have room for such small fans and cannot be adapted to fit larger ones. For example my 2U server case.Larger fans have small holes in the corners, small enough for a metal screw to secure into, on both sides of the fan. Between the two holes there is an open gap. That is what these mounts are designed for and will work well, I'm sure. But with smaller fans, there is no gap and a single narrow hole from one side of the fan to the other. These mounts will simply not pass through those holes, the holes are too long.

Depending on where your fans are, I think these could be a real pain to install. My fans were screwed in already, so I replaced the screws one by one with these, which made life a lot easier. I can imagine if I was starting from scratch I'd probably need to take most of my components out to get these in. I would still consider screwing the fans in first so that they were in place.I have a pair of long nose pliers, which were essential in my view. A few times I thought I was going to snap the rubber pulling them into place, which was a concern because I have 5 fans and therefore no spare mounts. But they all survived.It was absolutely worth the effort, I'd almost given up trying to make my Noctua fans run with less whine. I thought I'd give these a punt because they were the cheapest I'd seen anywhere else. No regrets, was very much worth the time and money.
