Default cooling fan not fitting screw less case?!

hi i received all my parts today and my akasa exhaust fan doesn't seem to work with my gigabyte aurora 3d case the pci cards are led in with a funny clip thing seen here

the clip that folds over has little teeth on it to slot in a gap in the pc cards but my akasa fan is one solid unit but come with mounting screws so i could mount it using the screws however my graphics card does not come with mounting screws

Eh? So it has a screw hole or not? And what does your gfx card have to do with it? I'm confused.

You may be S.O.L - that's why you don't get screwless/toolless installation cases ;)

Don't risk it, just pick up some screws of the right size at the hardware store. I wouldn't want something running at a high rpm suddenly deciding to fall off its mounting bracket..

..or you could just duct-tape it :V
