Default Push/pull but no extra fan clips

What kind of mod is most reliable and commonly used by OCNers in order to mount an extra fan to my Mugen-2 without fan clips?

Thank you much.

Zip ties work well.

I don't see how that would work with a Mugen 2. There's nothing for the zip ties to go through.

You may have to string them together to go around the heatsink (and over to negate slippage).

If you are confident in your modding skills then some small holes could be drilled in the corners of the fins, but I'm not sure I would try that.

Another option is thick and sturdy rubber bands... not necessarily my choice as you would need decent rubber that does not wear and crack.

How about paper clips?

As Raiden stated, that is a possibility.

But, you will want to ensure that there is some tension on the mounting technique to negate vibration of the fan against the heatsink.

You may also be able to use the protruding tips of the heatpipes in some manner.
