Missing m.2 screw

[Danwah]

Hi, I need to buy a new screw for my m.2 nvme drive for a Asus motherboard, what should I buy from my local hardware store?

[Walt]

In my opinion just buy a normal screw that fits nothing special

What size?

We can't tell you what size,you have to figure it out since you have the motherboard on hand.

M.2 tends to use 3mm M2 screws. You could go shorter than 3mm without any problems

Thanks for replying however I am just asking if there is a standard size.

M2 is the diameter (it's a standardised screw size, like M3, M4, M6 and so on. 3mm is the length)

Personally i am not really into M.2 slots thing. But i would suggest asking ASUS on their page or emailing them. Just send them full name of your motherboard and i am sure they will answer you better than any of us here

M.2 is standardised, all M.2 slots will use the same size screws if they adhere to the standard (which Asus certainly do). Quite conveniently, M.2 uses M2 size screws. Don't know if that's a coincidence or done deliberately
