Fans and AIO screws

[Insanity1999]

What type of screws and where do I get get such screws from that are long enough to do a push and pull AIO system in the top of my case? 25mm thick fans and h100i

The H100i should have come with all the screws necessary.

I'd guess that the H100i uses M3 or #6-32 screws. They are the two most common screw used for PCs.

As for length, you could measure it out yourself. I'd guess the length to be 1.25in or 1.5in. You should be able to pick up boxes at your local Home Depot for ~5 USD a box... or you could walk into the store with your parts to see if they're the right length before you buy.

M3 is one thing and 6-32 is another. M3 is short for metric 3, a metric standard. 6-32 is short for UNC 6-32, imperial standard (32 threads per inch, course)

M3 is used on optical drives to attach to case, 6-32 is used to attach motherboard to case, to attach hard drives to case, to attach pci-express cards to cases.

Yeah - I goof'd. I'm going to edit the comment slightly.

I've been looking at buying tons of 'em so they've blurred together in my mind. Thanks for the correction.

Buy them from a store that gives better prices for volume, like Digikey, Mouser, Newark/Farnell etc

 

Ex 6-32 up to 2" in length : https://www.digikey.com/short/q7r04j

For 1.25" (~32mm) length below head, you have this which costs 0.14$ for one, or 0.085$ each if you buy 50

 

The regular 1/4 (0.25") inch or 3/16 screws used for computers are cheaper, $0.08  each for 100 or  $0.05 each if you buy 5000 ( link )

 

And here's M3 screws : https://www.digikey.com/short/q7r0mj

though it seems the longest they stock are 25mm and they cost 0.115$ each if you buy pack of 100
