Please log in for more thread options I have an old ASUS A8V DELUXE ( socket 939 ) motherboard with a lost CPU fan. I have the CPU fan retention bracket.............. but not the 2 screws that attach the bracket to the motherboard! Can anyone please give me the length, and the type of screw thread..... or perhaps a place where I might purchase another bracket with screws included? Thanks !!!!!!!!! Graham | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Damn, talk about bad timing... Had you posted any time in the past two weeks, I'd have mailed you the parts you need at no charge. Alas, they're now out in my dumpster :( | |||||||||||||

The length should be obvious once you have found the screw thread pitch and diameter needed, then add a little bit more length (about 3-4mm) to account for the board being between the front and back of the bracket. I can give you specs on the screws I have in a different Asus skt 939 board, which are likely the same as yours, but I can't guarantee they are the same so I suggest taking the parts to the hardware store even if you try the size I mention first. The bracket on that board is black and Lotes brand. size 6-32 length 7/8" Since 7/8" is far less common than 1" length, and since the motherboard is more than 1/8" away from the motherboard plane because it's on standoffs of some sort, you should be able to use 1" length screws without any problem but 1-1/4" is probably too long. 3/4" length would probably work too because on this bracket the backplate has the long tapped portions which the screw mate with, so losing only 1/8" of threading shouldn't be a problem. | |||||||||||||

Get stainless steel or other hi-tensil screws. That is to say, don't use counterfit melted tin can crap imported from slobbovia. My nephew installed a very efficient and very big (i.e. heavy) cooler fan/fin assembly on his AMD64 using two screws from a bubble pack from Walmart. When they broke, the resulting mess was depressing and expensive. keersarge | |||||||||||||

Had a similar experience with the 1/4" bolts in the bulk bin at Home Depot, too. Barely start to torque the nut on and it turns to butter. :( Jon | |||||||||||||
