Corsair H100i Screws?

[neblur]

Hi there i am going to be building quite a pricy rig in about 8 months and i will hopefully be using the h100i. Now i am aware that they only provide 8 screws for "2" fan's. I am lookign to mount it in a 900d hopefully in push pull so i ordered some screws today and what i want to know is if they will work?

The screws i ordered are http://www.chilledpc.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?products_id=2036

Has anyone done a push pull config with a h100i yet? and if so could you link me to some screw's that you can confirm work 100% with the h100i or if the ones i ordered will work ^_^

You are going to use a H100i in a 900D? That will look stupid IMO

Also, push-pull is pretty pointless

I have the 800D.

I have the 800D.

I was referring to the OP

900d + h100i?
money = wasted
either you go custom loop or you get a different case, it will look completely underspec'd

 

[chris_61]

Don't take this the wrong way but he didn't ask your opinion on how it will look. Can we get back on topic, Do you know if the screws will fit or not? or where to get 8 of the long screws that corsair provide?

two fans stacked will do noting. push pull is meant to be a set of fans on each side.

Who wants to stack the fans? Corsair does not provide long enough screws to do push pull and in the instruction booklet states that in order to do push pull you must buy additional screws on their website, However this is no where to be found.

For choosing the right screws you'll need to find out which threading was tapped into the h100i (M4, M3, 6-32, etc...).

Then the best lenght for 25mm fans in push/pull (bolted through the case) are 35mm screws. However if 35mm is too long you can always use some washers to avoid hitting the rad fins.

After that its up to you to choose colour, screw head print, shape etc...

I would suggest this:

The fans that come with it are fine. Ive used them plenty of times.

only because push/pull is an optional feature. but not always necessary.

if you have a radio controlled hobby store, they'd have the 6-32 x 1.25" screws.

Thank you i have gone ahead and ordered 8.

I found them a little on the loud side for wanting to have my PC as silent as possible so i have switched them out for 4 Silent Edition SP120's.

the OE H100 fans id just undervolt from the molex @ 7volt and the noise is
drastically reduced. the SP120 QE are good, too. you may want to locate some
washers as well, to keep the heads of the bolts from sinking into the dampners
of the SP120 fans. especially if the bolts are not shouldered.

they are listed on the website... not sure if anyone cares this late in the game
