fan fixing screws

[MAXIBOY]

can someone confirm that fans screws are a 6/32 UNC course thread or are they something different

i bought these..6-32 UNC Countersunk Socket Machine Screw A2 STAINLESS STEEL

6-32 is the thread of screws in hard drives and motherboard mounts, PSUs, PCIe covers, basically case screws.

Not sure what the fan screws are but they're much thicker and a self cutting thread like wood screws.

yes mostly but i have two fans in the front of a corsair 780t and they are longer screws that screw into the case

Are you looking for fan screws for fans or fan screws for radiators? Different beasts

fan screws for the front of a corsair 780t that screw into the case directly ..

also looking to screw a rad into the top of the case and supplied screws are too short as the corsair has a little isolation bush so need longer screws here too thought they were the same

yeah i had m3 and m4 in stock when i first tried it and neither fitted so i bought the unc and these wont screw in nicely by hand either..

will get the bolt boxes out again tomorrow and try again..
