Magicool parts

So whats ppl's view on magicool? I have just taken delivery of two 360 pro's and the rads looks super but the fitting are too small and cant be used. The heads are smaller that a fan screw sowhen you try to fix the rads in place they just fall out. For a water cooling parts maker that look like a school boy error.

Downsides to budget hardware I suppose, have you got any rad screws laying around?

Hmm find that odd 99% of rads are m3 or m4.

I cannot remember seeing any rads in fact which accept standard fan screws. Were the screws provided by magicool or your own? If nto you will need m3 or m4 and they should work.

No i mean when you put a rad in a case you put it in a fan spot and the screws provided the heads on them are small that the head on a fan screw so when you try to fit them the rad just falls out of place.

I ended up useing some m3 washes.

I use a magicool 480mm rad I got second-hand on the cheap. Not really anything to compare it with, but I get the kinds of temperatures I expect from my loop so I don't mind.

I did have the same problem as P4Clock, the screw heads were too small to cover the holes in the provided fan areas. I have a feeling this may vary depending on the case manufacturer though and I wanted to buy some black screws anyway so it wasn't really a problem for me.
