arwenundomiel90 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I need to replace the screws on a m17x r3 heatsink. I found a site that has screws but I don't know the exact measurement of the screw. Anybody happen to know and can help me out?Thanks a bunch!

djdblaster Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I've bought a pack of screws from China and found ones that fit perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arwenundomiel90 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 Not helpful unfortunately. Purchased a set of different sized screws off eBay a couple days after posting this. Didn't work as all of them have heads that are too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdblaster Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Well, it worked for me. I got the pack and found screws that fit with heads. They are not as original, but hey, they do their job - which is to hold the heatsink in the place. Works for me. Have you managed to secure it?

Have you managed to secure it?Oh I was criticizing your method. 😏 No, I haven't been able to find any screws to fit. I was close but the head of it was just a bit too small. I'm honestly about to find a tiny washer to fill in the spot I need. I don't know if that will harm it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
