H80i Fan Screws

[slinger]

Just bought an h80i kit and there's only 4 x fan screws included, contrary to the booklet which states there should be 8. Where can I purchase another 4 from so I can attach the second fan please?

IIRC (and they're the same as the older ones) they're M3 machine screws.

You after the long screws or short ones? Short ones can be the standard 'computer' screw

Long ones I ended up getting MF-SC246 from here: http://www.modelfixings.co.uk/unc_cap_screws.htm for my H100i

Thank you, Ive just ordered some of the long ones :-) I cannot believe that you buy a 2 x fan watercooler yet they only supply you with 4 x screws! I've bought lots of Corsair mainly because I think that its good qualtity stuff, but this has left me a bit miffed to say the least!

[herulach]

have you spoken to the retailer? packing errors happen - just ask ikea.

[slinger]

Ikea never get anything wrong! lol

This is the contents image from Scans website (I didnt buy mine from there btw), which shows only 4 x screws. Why on earth would you supply only half the required amount? Its ridiculous!

If you are doing Push/Pull you can use both long and short screws.

Long Screw | Case | Fan | H80i | Fan | Short Screws.

Just need a skinny screwdriver to get through the screw holes on the one side of the fan

Its just a lot easier using the long ones

@Slinger, I am sorry about that. You must have gotten an earlier batch where the package only came with 4 rad screws. You are right, it should came with it in the first place. Though, those screws are pretty common and can be easily found in any local hardware. Otherwise, you can submit a ticket at Corsair.force.com and I can have a set sent to you.

The screw thread and length are 6 -32 x 1 1/4"
#6 machine thread, 32 TPI (threads per inch), 1.25 inches in length.

Thanks for the reply Greybeard however the screws are now the least if my worries unfortunately. The LED is having a funny turn and will only display in green, I did get the Red to work briefly the other day but has since stopped. I need to RMA it but I'm lacking a backup cooler :-(

[Greybeard]

We can set up an Express RMA for you, that way you avoid downtime. I can help you out with that. But before we do that, let's make sure first that it is indeed the LED and not something else.

Did you ever flash the FW in that cooler? the latest version is 1.07. Make sure that you have 1.07? Also, are you using the latest Corsair Link version?

[slinger]

I have updated to the latest Link software 2.5.5146, my firmware is 1.0.7

[Greybeard]

If this is the case, then let's go ahead and get that unit replaced. Submit an RMA and let me know the ticket # so I can see it through the process. I'll advise our customer service to arrange an Express RMA for you as well.

[slinger]

Thanks, can you explain what an express RMA is please?

[Greybeard]

That is where we send out the replacement first, then once you received it, you can then send us back the faulty unit. By doing so, you will be able to avoid downtime with your system. Standard RMA is where the customer sends the faulty unit first, once we get the unit here, we will then send out the replacement, leaving you with out a cooler for a week or so.

[slinger]

Ah fab! I can arrange the RMA via your website?
