UNC 6-32 screws

[TheRedViper]

Anyone knows where I can get colored version (also known as anodized) of UNC 6-32 screws by 30mm? I can find anodized M3 with ease but not 6-32s? I know Alphacool runs M3 on their radiators but both XSPC and EK run 6-32 by 30mm on their rads when you use fans.

I want anodized versions, those are replacement kits that already come with each radiator when you buy it.

Those are anodized, why do you think they are black and not silver...

I assumed the colour you wanted was black, since that's what everybody uses.

You didn't specify a colour...

 

These are the only ones I kow of.

It also says 1", so idk how well they will work with 25mm fans on a radiator.

Yeah my bad, just assumed since the stock ones are already black. I already checked those but 1 inch is 25.4mm, which is too short if your fans are 25mm thick. Would need to be like 1''1/8 or something. I don't know why they don't have 6-32 by 30mm honestly, its the most common thread nowadays for rads.

30mm is just stupid ,because it means nothing in imperial,and 6-32 is an imperial standard.

Closest you could probably get would be 1" 1-2/8th or 25.4 + [1..2] * 3.175 = ~28.575 or 31.75mm

 

If you want mm (metric) then you go with M3 or M4.

EKWB and XSPC disagree

 

[mariushm]

Then they're stupid , they should not mix imperial with metric.

 

to add. maybe you can use smaller screws and use standoffs or extensions like these which you could paint on the outside:

No idea where those long screws would go and can't be bothered to learn about radiators so ignore if those can't be used

The standard is really imperial if you use imperial threading but for red screws though your options will be very limited since most will be aluminum, and aluminum fasteners are not common. You will have much better luck purchasing regular zinc plated screws and touch up the heads with automotive paint or to use anodized aluminum washers instead for the accent.
