Need replacement screws for Corsair spec 01 case

[Costello_]

Hi,

I am in need of some replacement screws for my pc case specifically for motherboard ( not stand offs) and some for screwing in the psu. I was hoping some of you could help. I found a link on here for new egg but postage was a lot. I was wondering if you know anywhere online in the up that has them cheap. Are they m2 screws or different?

Many thanks

What country are you in ??
Probably better just buying a box set of multipurpose pc screws from amazon - they're about £10$ or equivalent & always handy to have extra .

Hi, I’m from England found these but didn’t know if they are the right ones https://www.amazon.co.uk/Haobase-228pcs-Computer-Motherboard-Notebook/dp/B06XSX8L2Z/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518257454&sr=8-1&keywords=pc+case+screws And these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Notebook-Computer-Assortment-Accessory-universal/dp/B01MA4DT8Z/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1518257554&sr=8-4&keywords=Pc+case+screws probably a stupid question but is it alright to use metal screws for the motherboard?

Hi

The second link looks like a notebook/laptop set of screws so no use for a desktop PC so get the first option for PC's

I presume you have heard of Maplin Electronic who have retail shops and are mail order

You could take an existing motherboard screw to one of their shops to get a pack of the exact ones you require
or buy a set of mixed PC screws

I am not sure if there is a standard for screws for the mounting pillars as I have seen different screw threads used

And you definitely want metal screws to mount the motherboard and you dont normally use any insulating washers

I am surprised that a new PC case would not come with a set of screws

Hi mike,

Yes have heard if Maplin will see if they can help, I do have screws but lost a couple when building, ( whoops) thanks for the help I’ve just checked the screws they are metal thought they were plastic.

First set at £7.25 has everything you need

Mb screws are standard m3 type , there are 3 different lengths in there so you're covered

Psu uses same screws aa cd-rom - covered again there (psu should come with screws in the box though in all honesty).

Metal screws , no washers are fine - look on the board around the fixing holes & you'll likely see pressed metal ringlets - theyre there for strength as well as for grounding points.
