Safest fan type?

[Lhach]

I recently bought a 1.2G T-bird (200) and I was wondering which fan type would be the safest to use? The screw-on, lip-on, or passive clip-on... Are there certain advantages/disadvantages over these different types?

Welcome to our slice of home! :) You'll not find a better place to get your questions answered, or a friendlier group of people.

The safest ones are the Swiftecs. Though they are also the most expensive. The main safety factor lies in the ease of application. If it's tough to put on, it probably isn't the safest. That doesn't mean, though, that it's guaranteed to crush your core...you just have to be a bit more careful when applying them. :)
