Even a stock run wouldn't hurt. At least curious to see the CPU score.

I thought I'd revive this thread as I noticed Fit's has solved a problem that I need solved.

I want to swap the 25mm fans on my ThermoChill PA120.3 radiator to at least 38mm. I'm currently using the screws that came with the radiator that go through both corners and I believe they are #6 self-tapping screws. I believe the screws that I would need for one corner are #6 3/8" self-tapping screws.

The problem that I have is how do I tighten these screws? The screws that I would use fit a #1 Phillips but all screwdrivers of this size that I can find have a 3/16" diameter blade. The holes in these fans only fit a 5/32" diameter blade.

The following image shows the screws that secure the fan to the radiator. This is one of Fit's images resized.



I don't yet have my fans so maybe when I do I'll see a solution but it sure would be great to know how others have solved this.

I had to use a small file/razor blade to slightly widen the top corner holes so that I could get my screwdriver through them.

Click to expand...

If it comes down to widening the hole then I have a 3/16" drill bit. I was wanting to put fan guards over them as I'm prone to making stupid mistakes.:D

I used a small phillips that was in a repair kit for glasses. It was on my H50 for push pull and I found that the screws from any amd2 or amd3 heatsink backplate worked.

I used a #1 Phillips that I got from Snapon years ago. You can also use the largest phillips that comes in "jewelers" screwdriver sets.
