Just out of curiosity, why would you super glue it? Yeah, I guess it could be done but wouldn't screws work better.

i have no mre room in my case lol. I thought the more fans the cooler it will get.
You could use some silicone glue. That way it would come off if you wanted to change things.
i have no mre room in my case lol. I thought the more fans the cooler it will get.It might be alot easier to just replace the fans you already have with higher CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) fans. Just Google the model numbers of your fans and you should be able to find their specs. Sometimes case makers stick their own labels on fans, so the manufacture's label might be underneath.
Take a look at Sidewinder Computers for an idea of what is available.
I suppose you could superglue or silicone a fan, but I think that over time the natural vibration of a fan would eventually loosen the bond. Much easier to use a drill and then attach with short screws.
Where exactly did you plan to superglue these fans?

lol dude i said it in the 1st post read. I said the power supply or the side panel ont he case. i thought of a better idea and i planned on doing is zip tied the fan to the side panel of the case.

instead of just adding a bunch of fans that are probably doing squat, why not set up the case with good airflow....?

i have good air flow in my case. my CPU is 32 degrees C and my mobo is 40 Degrees C. im afraid if i overclock, i dont want my temps raising high.
Can you guys do me a favor?
find me a 120mm and 80mm fan that have really good air flow and there quiet too? I have a few questions. are the fans in the case bad quality? and when i plug in 3 fans, my others run slow. why is this happening?
HERE ARE THE ONE I WANT. TELL ME IF THERE A GOOD PICK

nothing the matter with super glue (the gel is the stuff).
easy to remove with a quick twist, i use it on heatsinks a lot when doing custom mods like adding a fan where the fins are too far apart for a screw attachment to work.......mostly custom chipset stuffs....i have used the gel to attach case fannage and others also..............
