Go to solution Solved by Syntaxvgm,

all the other screws do have threads on them, it's just this one and the manual shows the others also with thread.

 

 

 

Would love to do that, but there aren't any nearby hardware stores(that im aware of) which are able to perform such things, the closest i can think of is are chain DIY stores and a small DIY store that offers woodcutting service's.

ah well idk what the situation is where you live bust most places here offer various screws

but as a temporary solution, if you have zip ties, thread one through, and use another to secure it on the bottom. Then get a hold of be quiet and see if they'll just send you a screw without a whole rma and whatnot.

okey, i'm currently in the progress of building my (first) own system, but when mounting the support mechanism for the Be Quiet Dark rock pro 3 i found out that one of the screws which goes into the cooler for mounting the mechanism has no threading.

 

So my question is, since the other 3 screws are in place, is it safe to mount the cooler without this 4th screw?

 

the 4th screw.

I wouldn't, I would find some ghetto solution, and I have bins and bins of screws. 

BUT 

take one of the screws to a hardware store and they'll be able to match it. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

Here the stores also sell screws, but only the normal types that you find around the house(so nothing small for precision work)

 

But i guess i will follow your suggestion and go with a zip tie until i got answer from the be quiet help desk, thanks a lot!
