Used SSD screws on mobo

[Talon921]

Help! Would it matter if I kept the SSD screws as the motherboard screws? I accidentally used the SSd ones since they are so similar. Rights what I used, lefts what I was supposed to use

Supposed or not. Some SSD uses that right screws. And I even see pc case that uses left type of screws to motherboard (bigger distances).

Would the SSD screws damage it in the long run?

How? If they fits, they fits.

Some people were saying it could destroy the motherboard

Not to mention I can’t really unscrew them either

Ah, sorry, I misunderstand it - I though that you're talking about using motherboard screws to ssd, not opposite. There is almost zero chances that bad screws destroy anything (except themselves). Trying to unscrew them now may increase probability of damaging motherboard, so if they're screwed tight, leave it as is.

Those look different, I don't know if they are made to fit in same holes. You may damage the hole but you can't really damage the item itself.

The threads are way different man. what you need to do is very carefully pull up on the board when you try unscrewing the screws since there the wrong thread they fit and spin your board can come loose from vibrations over time too.
