HI Guys,
I recently acquired a Alphacool UT60. With my Fractal design Define R4, i know that front rad 280mm is very tight, but i saw others do it, so apparently this rad fits.
After modding the front tray, (drilling holes so fan hole distance is 15mm) i tried times over times, to mount the rad, but the holes just never line up. I admit, the rad is a tight fit, and if the stop fitting where any thicker, it would just not fit at all.
After the 10th attempt, i just tried to attach the fans to the rad outside the case, and tadaaa... please see thet pic:
Is that normal? there is like a 1-2mm gab between them... In addition: even when mounting only 1 fan, the holes don´t line up properly. I can get them in, but then its under lot of tension...
So, is it normal that the fan holes on the rad are not precise, or did i receive a "mondays-product" and should ask for a replacement?
Thanks in advance for you help!
EDIT: i got 2 Noiseblockers pk-2 on there.
