What type fan screws are these?

Anyone know? I need one like the bigger one but with a thicker thread. Sorry for the poor image!

****ing blurry ones. Self tappers of some sort at a guess.

Impossible to tell really from that image.

Fan screws are usually little stubby things, these blurs seem too long.

Lol, can't get my camera in focus, god knows why.

They're not self tappers, they screw into some mounts behind the fan, the small bit on the end is the thread.

Give us a sec, I'll try again

never seen a fan screw like that before.

Take it they are the ones from your EVO ? and you want a thicker tread as the thread is stripped in the plastic casing

You could probably get away with using the screws that are usually used for screwing fans onto radiators - they will be roughly the same length. They will have the thread all the way up the screw but that shouldn't matter.

@above - Where could I get those?

Yes and no, they're from my EVO but my case only accepts 120x20mm fans at the front 'cause the screws aren't long enough, I need one like from my EVO but with thicker threads

Try your local independent hardware store, no doubt they may have something similar.
