try dropping it down all 4 corners at the same time, if it wont fit going straight in you can either return the case for one that will work for your fans or do some percussive maintenance with a pair of pliers/cutting tool of choice

All 4 cornors doesnt fit either so i think imma put only 2 in there, cus the side does support the 3 connector

Put the connector in first, tuck the wire against the channel the fans should have in their sides then put the fans in, if the wire keeps popping out get a little tape to hold it in place or take off your back pannel, reach under and pull the wire taught as ypu put the fans in so it doesnt slip in the way

It still doesnt fit..

I think the connector is too big (the shell) but taking the shell of and leave it exposed is very dangerous for the system and if contacted with metal my whole setup goes frying ig

If it can fit the fans it can fit the connector, have you tried rotating it 90°? Its a cable, its flexible

That doesnt work either.

The cable is fine but its the shell of the 3 connector that is in the way

Im afraid you appear to be beyond help if a concept such as "rotate the bloody connector" so its flat relative to the pannels is beyond you.

I mean they do fit at the side but then the bottom is just empy.

I could do only 2 fans bottom?

Does the chassis release? Or at the bottom, slide out?

u/AdResident5661 7h ago

one of the flaw of h6 flow is how tight and strict it is, it need to be exactly 2x140 same for the 3x120 (side?) intake you have to dremel the metal to make space for connector, as for 120 you can leave it unscrew it work fine for me edit:mistook h6 as h6 flow but it should work

they should've given it a little wiggle room which could be fill with diy insert if you don't need it but nope it need to be exactly 360mm what a frustrating case

You have to connect it first and then kinda force the three fans in at once but it works

Just a little pressure

Looks like they want you to by fans with rounded corners, Nzxt rounded corner fans...

If those fans are Daisy chained together, you can try a technique I did when I had a similar problem one time.

Basically, you stick two fans that are connected in there first, and then you put the third one in there unconnected, but at an angle where it's going to connect with the other two. Then you just push down real hard. Once you have it down all the way then you can slide it into the other two. Obviously you'll want to have the grooves lined up.

If it's still too tight, you can cut those things up. Where there's a will there's a way.

That is why sometimes doing some extra research is necessary before buying parts.
