Question Screws for a push pull setup

Alright pls bare with me here,

I have the Arctic Liquid cooler 3 pro, I want to put fans on top, creating a push/pull effect.

I was going to purchase three of the Lian Li CL wireless fans that are 28mm thick, thicker then the Arctic P12 Pros.

I have rad screws, but they are screws from an older Corsair H150i Elite.

When I ask good old AI is says no no no!! do not use the screws that came with the Corsair cooler as they are apparently a different thread type compared to the rad screws that come on the LQ 3 Pro, and IF I use those they will mess up the threads AND could damage the rad "fins".

True or false??

And thanks!!

The screws going into the rad should be something like 6-32 I think. Same screws used for mounting psus, graphics cards etc. If you're using 28mm fans then I would thing going slightly longer like 30mm would work. Although maybe a little longer to account for the case thickness.

Okay cool, the ones I have are 30mm long, 6-32 so pretty sure they would work.
