38mm thick Fan fixings

Devious · 22 May 2006 at 12:41

Ive just recieved 2 ys-tech 38mm thick fans from OC's to replace my 25mm thick ones but there wasn't any fixings for them. I need some screws about 45mm long.

noob question - where do I get them, OC's dont seem to sell screws ?

mite sound like a crazy and whacky idea here but, ever thought of a hardware store? or a diy shop? call it radical thinking

Surely standard self-tapping screws are all you need, just enough to go through the case and into the case side of the fan. Do the ones from the fans you're replacing not fit?

These are for my water rad, ideally need screws around 45mm long to go through all the fan into the rad thread and hold the fan grill too. I wasnt sure whther the thread pitch on these are unusual. Ill try my hardware superstore later on.

as long as the screws dont pierce that core of the rad, any sort of self-tapper will do.

Ahh, ok. Makes sense now.
