[el rolio]

I used 4mm x 30mm Self Tappers

[el rolio]

so i assume that is M4 screws.... 30 mm length? thats what i will look for in the store?

[creidiki]

They work with my YL and PA... yeah M4

U can use the included screws also.

I have basically the same setup. 6-32 screws wont fit. I think you need 4-32 but I couldn't find any. So I dremeled out my holes a tad so 6-32's fit.

I used 6/32 x 1-1/4 inch screws and used a tap to thread the holes to 6/32. You are gonna get gouged buying metric screws in the US, better to tap the holes out to a common domestic size IMO. Plus the tap is handy to have around for other case modding stuff, and it's the correct thread size for the mobo standoff holes in most cases in case your threads get messed up.

yep. home depot. corner store. menards. all didnt have longer than 12mm for the screws. so i resrted to buying bolts ARGH and a mini wrench set. andd im not looking forward to the bolting. im considering goin back out there for real and buying the tap. ive never done it before.... i assume i just screw it into the holes on the radiator and it will ~expand~? or make the holes the right size and then im good right?

i used #6 sheet metal screw but i dont remember if they were an inch or half inch and i got them at home depot

[Vice]

#6 sheet metal screws
1 1/4 in long for mounting 25mm fans, will also fit if you have a fan grill

check maxx's guide to watercooling stores, towards the bottom of his post, to get the product number for mcmaster. I just got mine...their a perfect fit

[el rolio]

guys. im heading to the hardware store to return the M4 nuts and im COMING BACK WITH #6 SHEET METAL SCREWS WWWOOOOO!!!

so one more time. i can buy those and NOT have to tap out the holes for 6/32 RIGHT? :D:D

I just a pa120.3 and I needed to know what screws I needed. I want to make sure the screws to get are 6/32 x 1-1/4 inch screws for yate loons.

I was also wondering what to use as well. My rads are BIProII and im mounting 4 120mm fans on each one with radboxes, should I go for screws or bolts and are the sizes the same?
