Nzxt kraken x62 push pull configuration

[CryS07]

Hi guys, anyone have idea about what is the size of the thumbscrews of the Nzxt kraken x62 for push pull configuration or can tell an standard size of the screws for mount the 2 extra fans for push pull configuration...

The x62 comes with 16 x 30mm long UNC 6-32 threaded screws for attaching fans to the radiator. 16 screws is enough to mount a total of 4 fans (4 screws per fan) to the radiator, two on each side.

Sorry for -1 @the nerd 389.. I can't find this size on eBay, I just see M3 30mm M4 30mm so can you tell me the size like this please?

Mx numbers are metric threading. UNC 6-32 is an imperial size. It is not equivalent to any of the Mx sizes.

Here is one example of the correct screws. If you live in the U.S., you can just get these.

So you don't know in metric threading?

 

[the nerd 389]

It's not that I don't know, it's that they are two totally different standards, and that size does not exist in the Mx standard.

The thread density is 32 threads per inch. There is no equivalent to that in standardized metric thread specifications.

*ahem* Nerd 389, there absolutely is a metric conversion equivalent, to UNC 6- 32

which is M3.5x .6

32 TPI is equivalent to 0.8 mm pitch, not 0.6.

Those will jam if you try to use them in a hole that's been tapped for the UNC 6-32.

weird, I wonder why it's on the conversion chart then... but I hear you that makes sense.

 

[the nerd 389]

It's on the chart because they have similar performance characteristics. If it's cheaper to get assembly line tooling for metric threading, but the designs specify UNC threading, you can interchange the tools according to that chart without sacrificing the build quality of a product.
