thingiverse

Mounting a 5015 fan on a 40mm heatsink is a straightforward process that can be completed with basic tools and some careful planning. Begin by identifying the mounting holes on both the fan and the heatsink, taking note of their diameter and spacing. Next, select an adapter that matches these specifications, ensuring a secure fit between the two components. The adapter in question typically features screw threads for attaching to the fan's mounting holes and clips or screws for securing it to the heatsink. Once chosen, position the adapter on the heatsink, aligning its mounting holes with those of the fan. Secure the adapter firmly using the provided fasteners. With the adapter now attached to both the fan and the heatsink, gently lower the fan into place. Make sure it's securely seated on the adapter before tightening any remaining screws or clips. Double-check that all parts are properly aligned and tightened to ensure a snug fit. The completed assembly should now be ready for installation in your system.
