dewarrn1 Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 The XP 90 I'm planning to use as my heatsink shipped with screws that don't fit the backpiece of the original heatsink attachment bracket (the screws are too narrow to bite). The original screws fit both parts fine, but are much too long. What are the dimensions of these screws? I guess I'll buy shorter replacements. Thanks.

disturbed6dws Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I have the same heatsink, and I have no idea of the screw sizes...never really paid attention - but, you did remove the original heatsink bracket that was on the motherboard ? right ?

dewarrn1 Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Yeah, I did. Regardless, it turns out this is all moot; the screws fit with some more work, the system is up and memtest86ing as I write this. Thanks for the response. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCGrimReaper Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 The screw size for the backing plate would be 6-32. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
