materials needed

120mm PC fan (doesn't have to be Corsair, it could be any 120mm-sized fan.)

Remove Your Side Panel

remove the screws holding the panel to the case. (there may be more than two screws depending on your case.)

Find Your Spot

find a 120mm fan slot. locate your point where you connect the fan. Your point will have 3 pins on it and  may have a plastic groove to help line up the pins.

Screw Your Fan Into Place

make sure your screws go in straight. you should have at least two screws holding the fan on. Four screws would be optimal.

Replace Your Side Panel

There may be two or more screws keeping the panel on. make sure to put all of them back in.
optional: secure your wire into place with zip ties to keep it out of the way.
