Where can I buy H100i mounting screws from ?

[Dicehunter]

The H100i that I purchased didn't come with the long 1 inch screws needed to install the fans to the radiator, I had a look at buying them from Corsair store but the price of shipping is twice the amount of the actual item which in principal is not going to happen.

I have submitted an RMA request as the 8 screws as well as half the washers needed didn't come with the cooler but as it's over the holiday period I can't see this getting resolved for a few weeks.

What type of screws should I buy ?

Any help is appreciated

Its some weird imperial thread matey, Im sure Ive looked before. with a 25mm fan you actually need almost a 30mm screw if you want to bolt through the case edge too.

Seems weird you didnt get the full set of screws if you got it from a shop though - Id just hassle the retailer if it was me.

I believe they use 30mm screws with M4 threads, ebay has plenty of them Here

They are not M4 they are not even M3

Ive already said they are a wanky imperial thread

Last year when I bought an H80i it came without the actual mounting bracket, I don't have much luck when it comes to actually getting the whole package ^_^

Already done but the last 2 times I had to return an item to scan it took the pied piper.
First time was a Razer keyboard which they claim they lost even though the DPD driver got a scan employees signature then it took them 3 months to send out a replacement, Not even exaggerating there.
And the 2nd time was a GTX 780 that was DOA that I had to hunt down any information once they had it and that took over a month to get a replacement.

I might just bite the bullet and buy the screws from Corsairs store.


*EDIT*

After mulling it over I'll just go through Corsairs customer service department as it comes to £17 with shipping for some screws which should of been in the box to begin with, Any person that isn't completely touched in the head or minted will say this is too much.

I've seen Grey_beard sort problems like these out with no bother at all, especially when they should have been included with the initial product, stick a post in the Corsair Customer Care Forum

Edit: Oh my bad, just seen you did a few days ago lol.

I found model, arts and crafts shops are good places to get non-standard screw sizes from

I cant remember what screws they were but I just picked some up an Home Depot that fit perfectly. Take a screw to Home Depot or Lows (or what ever improvement store you have by you) and just size up. That's all I did.

Ok guys my bad, I remember using the screws that came with my case to mount the rad to the case, I needed short ones. I believed they were the M4 ones but I checked with my box of screws and they are actually the 6-32 ones not the M4. Again my bad

On the H50 they were 6-32 as well. I'd imagine Corsair has stuck with the same type. My local hardware store had the screws I needed, but I did have to trim them down some.

Both on the H50 and H110 are 6-32, so I'm guessing the H100i is the same.

Are corsair rads different? as i was sure rad bolts are metric ....must find my tread gauge ...
