Long Screwdriver for installing a Peerless Assassin 120, which length and head ?

PDifolco

I'm wanting to test a Peerless Assassin 120 cooler, will replace the meh fans with a couple Arctic P12 Pros 馃檪

I'd then check if I can have same perf than a 280mm watercooling with reservoir, and it should be close !

Yet while I have a lot of PC tools (ifixit set) aI have no long screwdriver for installing this cooler, and there's none as accessory like Noctua does..

So what length and head do I need ?聽

Very sure its four headed as seen on the official product page for the cooler and you would need a fairly long screwdriver (all lengths are in mm)
