How many screws do you need for a radiator?

[Sn1gel_]

I did not get any short screws (not the long ones for the fans) for one of my radiators. That means I only have 12 screws for 2x 360 radiators. Is that fine, or should I wait for new ones to be sent to me?

Depends on how you intended to mount your radiator. if you wanted to mount the radiator to the case and fans on the otherside you will need short screws.

 

Otherwise you can just use the long screws to sandwosh your fans with the radiator

 

So you can do: push intake and pull exhaust with just long screws.

 

ideally 4 per fan, but i think 2 diagonally will work too. but get more.

This works, not recommended long term but the difference between 2 and 4 is negligible.
