lian li o 11 dynamic top mounted for pull and deepcool rf 120 inside for push.

22mm 6/32 should be a good fit. Grab some with a wider head on them. Also grab some 6/32 washers just in case.

if you buy soc cap screws keep in mind that its mesherd tip to tip and the soc cap is like 1/8 thick i found this out the hard way.

the soc cap screws have a deep head on them and when you look for the length of a screw its tip to tip in stead of bottom to bottom of the screw head and the soc cap is thick so you loses 1/8 to that length

ahh so i lose 1/8 of the total length to that. so thats why 22mm tip to tip including the head of the screw. is that correct?

Do you know the diamere of the screw body not the head?

i guess it depends witch screws you buy and were you buy it. if its just thread length or total length.

the point is you should do the math yourself to see how long you need. thickness of the fan, thickness of the case, how much thread will screw in the the rad, dose the rad have tread stop or not. and if you have a gill you have to add that to the total.

i cant seem to find a pic to thread stop but here a video talking about it around 1:35 in the video
