I need m3.5 bolts and m3.5 screws.The one's that come with swiftech rads when you buy them.I've searched everywhere and i can't seem to get a hold of any.
Anyone know where i can them.It's these screws/bolts that are holding my build back from completion
cheers guys
I think they're more common as an electrical standard,IE wall switches are fastened by metric '.5' sizes (at least over here they are in business property's).Try an electrics place.

its also called "6/32 thread" as you can find them HERE (http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/spsc.html), i used them on my mcr's
good luck with your build (im almost finished with mine)

I've found that M3 screws work fine with the Swiftech radiator mounting holes, as do the 6/32 screws (such as the ones for mobo standoffs, optical drives for PSUs). M3.5 is a bit of a pain in the ass to find, but you shouldn't have too much trouble finding any M3 screws.

I'm using 4 35mm M3 screws (it goes bracket > | < fan > | < Rad, hence 35mm screws) to mount the radiator onto the brackets that hold the rad to the case, and it's been pretty secure so far. It should be fairly easy to find M3 hex cap screws from somewhere like McMaster Carr or somewhere like that.

when you tapped it did you have to run a 4mm drill through first?

quick question slightly off topic, what is the original threading of thermochills?
