So, I bought the Phobya G changer v2 and it came with 12 short and 12 long screws. 
Which screws do I use to mount the fans to the rad, and which ones to mount it to the case? I would like the fans pushing from inside the case.

How long are the screws (mm)?

 

You would need like a 5mm screw to mount the rad to the case and a 30mm screw to mount the fan to the rad.

 

In both cases the danger is a screw that's too long cracking the rad fins so put a screw in and check the depth first before doing them all.

The shortest ones that fit through your case and fans and still reach your radiator. It should make sense.

I'm assuming you have 30 and 35mm screws. If the 30s don't fit, use the 35mm's

Thanks for the replies, I still can't find a use for the longer screws ahah.

the 30mm are for direct through case installs, the 35mm are for cases like the

750D and using the rubber isolator bushings and a washer. the thickness of

the bushing needs longer screws.

I removed those and installed my own washers anyway, so I will be using the 30mm ones.
