Aqua computer backplate

post #1 of 7

Thread Starter 
I recently purchased an aquacomputer 680 gpu block and the backplate for it as well. When trying to mount the backplate though, the screws that it came with are not long enough to screw into the block under the pcb. Has anyone else encountered this?

I ran into the same issue with the AC backplate for the 680 block. The screws that came with my backplate are flat head M3x6mm, and extend about 2mm past the plastic spacers on the backplate. Not enough to even start to thread into the block when you take the pcb into account. I'm going to PM Shoggy to confirm.

Prolly mixed them up.
Find out what is the size and get them at home depot. That will be the quickest way to fix the problem.

I took the screws over to lowes and they didn't have anything small enough to even match the screws that came with the backplate. =(

Your solution can be found on Amazon, and search around for the head and length you want. thumb.gif

xlink64, I use flathead M3 x 10mm for my waterblocks so I have a ton of them. If that is indeed what you need (please confirm), I could send you some. I also have plenty of M3 x 12mm flathead...

I was able to install the AC backplate with flat head 10mm M3 screws. It worked out better as aside from being too short, the screws provided were stainless steel and didn't look as nice as the black ones I bought.
