Minor problem with H440 NZXT "SCREWS"

yaseryaser

O.o the Motherboard after seating it on the standoffs, I can't figure which is the right screws, there is something wrong and I started to think that there is a bag of screws missing!!! the only screws that "fit" well was the hexagon and they are only 4 of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \ should I use 2 types of different screws on the Motherboard, please HELP it's driving me crazy, the M3 screws keep rotating forever and like I mentioned the Hexagon fitted very well but they are 4, the standoffs are 8 so I must install and tighten 8 screws common sense.

The standard is 6-32 screws for motherboard standoffs.

Yes the hex headed screws are also 6-32 as labeled on the bag which is the same thread as the regular 6-32 screw flat.

Also in your picture, there is a case manual that will probably tell you which screw is what...

1) read the manual

 

2) hex screws are for the PSU

 

3) 6-32 screws are for the motherboard

 

4) M3 screws are for drives, hopefully you didn't ruin your standoff threads by trying to put those in.

Apple employee: "Cheetah Fast. Lightning Fast. It's Really, really, fast."
