Motherboard Screw confuse

[Rafeeqalmas]

Hi friends, Im building a new AMD pc. I have a doubt, there are two types of screw came with my cabinet ( CM MasterBox 5 ). I got confuse which screw to use for motherboard. I believe this screw ( refer screw_type 02 image) to use. The one not are properly threading in all stand offs, it fits only on two stand offs. I have attached the image of the screws. Please let me know which one to use. Thanks

the fine threaded ones......coarse ones are usually for peripherals

Image one is the one you should be using for securing your motherboard to the case.

if you try without the motherboard installed, do they go in smoothly?

 

if not, you might need to ask the manufacturer for replacements

talk to the reseller......they might let you return it, and get new standoffs with new screws

 

some PC shops might also sell them

It’s not hard to strip a screw it’s actually easy to do

 

if you keep turning and the screw keeps spinning and never stops that means you stripped it

Thanks guys for your help

One of the screws -2nd picture, left, hex shape head - looks like UNC 6-32 (imperial or US standard, 32 threads per inch)

This is usually used on motherboard to screw it to case, mechanical (3.5") drives, to screw graphic cards in the slots.

 

1st pic looks like M3 screw (metric standard size 3) which has finer thread and is smaller diameter.

Usually used on 2.5" ssd drives, to screw optical drives (dvd writer, bluray)... SOME cases use these also for screwing motherboards to case.

SOME motherboards also use this kind of screw on m.2 SSDs, but more often a smaler M2 sized screw is used.

 

if the M3 screw slips or doesn't stay on that spacer, then tha spacer is meant to accept the other kind of screw, the 6-32 one.

 

Sounds to me like some of the posts above were trolls.
