CoolPrizes Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I was wondering if there are any places to buy screws for the 38mm thick fans. I don't think the stock screws work. Ultra Kazes btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender2803 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Depends if you are going through your case backplane or just mounting a fan to the front. The stock screws should work unless you need to add a bit. Don't put the screws all the way through the fan if just mounting a fan...the fan may deform a little if you tighten it too much. If going through the case then you will need somewhere around a 1-1/2" to 1-3/4" screw. Maybe 1-5/8" if you can find them. Should be 6/32 size. 38mm=~1.496inches So something like: http://www.lowes.com/pl_Bolts_4294856649__s?Ntt=6%2F32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defender2803 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 LOL! Go to the hardware store...they are like 20 cents a piece. Pick up several different singles of different lengths to test if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolPrizes Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Okay... hardware store didn't have 1-3/4... I can confirm 1-1/2 or lower is NOT GONNA WORK! I would suggest getting at least 2 inches... I guess 3/4" is gonna work, but I would avoid it and get the next size up... Now I gotta stick with default fans until I go to the hardware store again. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolPrizes Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 lol My CPU Batch #L017 can't overclock for ****.. Even the onboard OC Genie fails to overclock... You know that's epic failure when the **** onboard overclocker can't do ****. Should have gotten a i5-750 instead of a 760... Oh well... Avoid L017's D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
