I am after some correct length/thread screws to mount my fans to my triple rad. to make it a little easier to fit/remove i would like to mount the fans to the rad via small screws then mount the top set of fans to the case with black fan screws. I have the fan screws in abundance but i need the smaller screws to mount the fans to the rad in the correct length to ensure that they do not puncture the core.

Any idea? Oh in black btw.. :)

Possibly but they are 35mm long and i need them about 8-10mm long. Are the threads on rads (EK Ones in particular) M4?
Click to expand...

M3 on EK XT and XTX

and I think you want either:

5-6mm for flush mount, i.e. to stand or to install grill
or
30mm to cover the fan (i.e. enter from top of fan, cover 25mm, and into rad)
...35 mm your asking for trouble
either way be very careful you don't break your rad, measure distances

Which EK one in particular? the XTX has a shroud, don't know about XT...
 
IIRC, both rads have shrouds, but not certain about this.

Just get a selection of M3's maybe?

Handy for the future and won't cost that much
