This is a really dumb question. But I bought an nzxt kraken x61 all in one water cooler that I absolutely love. However I also have 4 scythe ultra kazes that I want to run with it in a push pull configuration.

My question is really simple but I don't know the answer. I have a corsair 900D case, so the radiator will be mounted at the top. What screws do I use to go through the top of the case, through the fan and into the radiator.

If someone could link me to the right screws and any grommets etc that are needed from amazon I would really really appreciate it.

Thanks guys.

Currently the fans are mounted on the top of the case, aka I can't have the very top "panel" on, and I could put my finger into a fan if I wanted to or accidentally lol. I would love to clean the look of it up and do it correctly.

PS: I am thinking about upgrading to something like this.

I really don't want to build and put together a kit myself yet so I would like to keep things fairly simple as I am new to water cooling. I know it's not that difficult, but its also more expensive when you go with all of the best parts as well. Hopefully I will see some improvements with a kit like that though vs the x61 that is serving me very well currently. Also plan on water cooling the 1080 later on down the line.

ultra kaze's are you talking about these 38mm thick fans?

its a 38mm fan... which translates to 1.5inches... so u would probably need a tad bit more then 1.5 inches assuming your gonna mount though the holes..

so maybe 1x5/8 or1x3/4th will probably do, 6-32 Machine head screws ... but visually inspect it from the side to be sure you not pushing against the fins and definitely dont tighten too hard incase u are pushing against the fins.
