Installing new CPU and mobo, noticed that a screw has loosened by itself. Do you guys think this is a problem? I actually can't screw it in any more. Guess I could go get some washers to put under the screw if needed. Pretty annoying, is this something that happens often? And why?

Luckily the screws closest to the GPU are still tight.

did you install the GPU block yourself?

that screw is definitely supposed to screw in all the way. luckily it isnlt a very important one, but you should atleast try to tighten it further nonetheless.

maybe you didn't use the correct screw?

I'm quite sure it was fine when i installed the block, which was over a year ago, thats why i think it got loose by itself. Or maybe i was just stupid and didn't notice this back then, but i find that unlikely.

And yes, the screw at least looks exactly like the others, i'm pretty afraid of opening any though
