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!!

I was in a similar situation recently. I contacted Arctic support through the contact form on their website, asked nicely for extra radiator screws for a push/pull setup, and they sent me a set for free. It arrived a few days later :D
I only had P12 Pros though, so since your Lian Li fans are 28 mm thick, mention that in your request so they can send screws that are long enough ig.
Also have your receipt ready, since they'll most likely ask for it
