[SOLVED] Need longer PSU screws (using a vibration dampener on PSU)

[Jack800]

Hello all,

I plan on using a vibration dampener on my PSU (see here) along with rubber washers on the four screws, but I am afraid if I do that the included PSU screws will be a bit short. Does anybody know where I can purchase longer PSU screws?

Thank you,

You don't need a vibration dampener and rubber washers on the screws with a Corsair AX1600i. That PSU is never gonna vibrate.

Seems like psu damping is not going to do anything worthwhile.
PSU fans normally do not even turn on in an efficient psu, and if they do, they are not noisy.
But, if you need some longer screws, take a short one with you and go to a hardware store or even home depot.

Thanks for your input SID and geofelt. I just like to be proactive just in case (no pun intended).

If the PSU Screws are tight, there won't be noise / vibrations from the PSU. The kit looks interesting but all it's doing it putting some rubber between the PSU and chassis, which will be toast in like two or three years.

100% not needed but if you look at what your buying it comes with screws.

Fan mounting pins:	8 pieces (for two fans)
PSU gasket:	1
PSU mounting screws:	4 with soft washers pre-applied
Product code:	AK-MX002

Thanks AnthonyLovric - why would you say it would be toast in 2-3 years; will the PSU get that hot?

Thanks Zerk2012 - oh, I missed that it came with screws. Thanks!
