tasr Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Silly question, but are they the screws that came with the PSU? Can you try larger screws without stripping the threads? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kulo Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 yes 4 of them i think the extra thread is for the case metal ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasr Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Try using washers. You’re sure it's screw in all the way. Out of the all the PC I've put together I've never seen this happen when using the screws that came with the PSU. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blooz1 Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Take the grill off of the 80MM fan on the PSU. It's obviously causing the interference! (You can reinstall it after you mount the psu in the case.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kulo Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 i will try taking the 80mm fan off and see if it makes any difference Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blooz1 Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 You don't need to remove the fan, just the grill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaterSalad Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 could try washers or a spacer/psu silencer. or find some case screws with the same threads and use those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
