Radiator screws?

DrPeirson · 4 Dec 2012 at 12:13

Does anyone have any idea which hardware stores sell the M3 thread screws? and does anyone know if they are easy to cut down if you buy like a 1m of threaded pipe?

I'm in need of a load of M3 screws, some at 30mm and some at 35mm for my new build I would prefer to buy them locally! If there's no easy option to go out and buy them I guess I will order them ZZzz

Hardware stores tend to stop towards the smaller size threads

65mm are you putting a REAL radiator in your machine or what?!

Nope, this was using an old 120mm fan with the blade removed to create a fan shroud as this reduces the dead spot at center of the fan.

The website yas recommended was perfect. I think OCUK should think about stocking the screws =)

Yeah they are a good company if you want watercooling components, especially unusual or hard to find stuff. I have used them a few times, though I agree it would be awesome if OCUK stocked stuff like this in future.

I got some nice black M3 and M4 screws but they are from a competitor so can not link, they came up cheaper than ebay.
