Rubber vs metal screws

Post by majax79 » Thu Feb 06, 2014 5:00 pm

This is my 1st PC build.

I'm trying to install 3 Noctua NF-A14 case fans into Fractal R4 case. However, I'm completely confused on which screws to use:

1) Rubber screws that came with the fan
2) Metal screws that came with the fan
3) Metal screws that came with the Fractal R4

Rubber "screws" = vibration isolation. Use those.
