I'm running a HR-05 on my XBX2 board, works great, however with the Nexus 80mm fan I have on there (really low airflow case situation), I feel the mounting is kind of weak using the stock mounts. Any ideas on how to utilize all 4 of the MB hooks for a more solid mounting? Any other clips that could be adapted to do this? TIA

A photo of my contraption...the ghetto ziptie is temporary until I get the mounting right ;)

hmm I think I see 2 motherboard mounting screws nearby.

still kinda "iffy" but if you took one out, screwed in a piece of 6-32 ( I think thats the thread, but not postive) threaded rod, ran a nut down to secure the motherboard, you would then have a threaded post sticking up that you could, with some more nuts, "fly" the fan from. Cant tell how well it would line up, just a wild idea.
