Screw

i was just building a computer for my friend and was about to put the case fan in but the none of the screws from the packet we got from the case fit :angry:


do i have to buy the screws for the case fans seperately?
is there an alternative?

btw im building a AMD 2500+ with a MSI KT4AV also bought some 512DDR@PC3200 B)

i have 2 case fans and im going to try and overclock as far as i can without any extra cooling than i already have....

do you think i will be able to overclock till 3200+ without adding more cooling?

and yes i did put the thermal paste in already and dint put too much and i also spread it nicely and neatly....

so far all i have done is just put the HSF on the cpu(the motherboard isnt even in the case yet). and then i just started wondering of the case fans suddenly :helpsmile:

thanks in advance :)

the case fans should come with screws....... theyre usually kinda cylindrical shaped screws, like this:

I've never come across case fans that didn't have mounting screws.

:lol: my 4 euro case fans did :P

anyway, just go to the store (compstore) and ask for 4 case fan screws (4 for each fan that is)

now if the salesperson doesnt know what you mean, get the hell outta there!!!!!

im not going back :01:

damn canadian cheap computer stores!!!!dammmmm u!!!!!!

ill try a string or something :unsure:

just make sure its really secure..... you dont want your fan to knock off something of you mobo or something like that......

you can try hot glue, might be a lil more work replacing the fan after it dies though
