Not sure about them fans in particular but all my 12cm fans will 'bounce' up and down slightly which is normal. If it seems to work fine and doesnt make any strange noises then its probably nothing to worry about

yeah thats what I thought. Once I get it all installed and running I'll have a check. Just wondered if anyone else had the airflow fan

Installed one of those on a client's pc today, saw that same problem aswell. I don't like it at all to be honest, but I found that if you push the fan unit up a bit, you can tighten the top screws a bit more. Same if you push it down, you can tighten the bottom ones. Hope that helps!
