I was wondering, when using a slim fan for radiators, what screws/securing method do you use as obviously the screws that come with the radiator are either too short or too long?

I've bought some SilverStone SST-FN123 fans and 20mm M3 bolts, hopefully the threads match my radiator!

Yep, they worked! Not sure why but I thought there was variation on threads

I had the issue with my noctua x15s and HW labs black ice nemesis gts 240 rad.
I cimply cut the screws with a hacksaw. Not pretty but it works. Be sure to not cut to short. If you only screw in one fane you can check length etc visually by peaking fromt he open side!
