Quietly and effectively, bad fan mounting

I bought the cooler because he is always right well in various tests and price was still halfway acceptable. I use the cooler for an Intel i3770 on an Asus P8Z77-V board in a BitFenix ​​Shinobi PC case. The cooler works very well, in normal operation, the CPU reached a temperature of about 31 ° C. Even under full load the fan is indeed low audible, but is in a pleasant tone range and does not interfere.

By the height of the fan that is barely usable in the BitFenix ​​Shinobi case, however, the side wall must be quite easy to bend outwards. The installation of the unit was through the housing and whose Aussparrungen on the board back pretty easy, but it can require the extension of the motherboard in another case. One point deduction is available for the mounting of the fan. This is quite cumbersome to install and does not give the impression that it holds even stronger shocks (eg when carrying the computer) the fan.
