Here is a retarded question. I bought a Bip3 a while ago and decided to install it today. The rad didnt come with any screws and my 6-32 machine screws wont go through the screw holes in the rad!! any idea what size screws you guys used to mount your fans in a black Ice pro series rad?

Please help me out here.
 
Nah, I didnt even know what size screws go with them, which is why I was waiting. Besides I discovered it at around 10:00pm CST. I will try getting some thinner screws tomorrow to try it out I guess. Apparently #6 screws should fit this rad. Correct me if I am wrong, please.
 
Did you post this same Q at XS? Apparently, when I searched, I found people used 6-32 machine screws so I bought a big pack of them. It was hard, but I did eventually get them through. MaxxRacer over at XS though is saying to use #6 screws... Judging by how hard it was to use 6-32, I'd say go with #6. I have a bip3 too...
 
use large garbage bag ties if you cannot find any screws, they work well. Just thread 2 of them together ==== it works
 
Guys, thanks for your answers. I went an bought some # 6 Sheet metal screws. 1-1/4" screws mounted my 25mm fans just fine. So #6 sheet metal screw it is. I hope this will eliminate some confusion in future. 🙂
