PSU screws dont fit

[nymphdollie]

I have an EVGA Supernova, 1000W psu. At first I thought I just wasnt lining it up right in the case, but them I took it out and tried screwing them in without the case just to see if they even worked and they absolutely will not tighten at all. I'm positive that they're the screws labeled as PSU screws in my case's manual. Please help!

Try using the screws that came with the PSU, and triple check they are going in straight.

the power supply should have shipped with screws. those are the ones that should be the right threading. the one for the case could be drive or mb screws.

The PSU's instructions said to use the screws that came with the case. But I tried using the ones that came with the psu anyway and it's the same thing. They will not screw in. I'm so confused why this isn't working.

I also just realized that the only place where I can mount it in the case will either block the on/off switch or the cable ports.

...oh lord. I figured it out. The manual isn't labeled or anything and the actual screw holes are on the side of the psu that's covered in ventilation holes, so I didnt even see them. I was trying to screw it into a spot that wasn't a screw hole.
