Question What screw to use on a rad/fan [solved]

what type of screw do you guys use to install a fan on the radiator? Does the screw have to go all the way to the other side of the rad? I've gotten an XSPC RX360 rad that I want to install a 120x38mm Deltas

I think the XSPC rad uses M3 threading. Not 100% sure, i guess wait for another post to confirm. If it does... you could get M3x50 screws and cut them down, so they dont punture your rad.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! You'll puncture the rad!

M4 x 45mm bolts are easy enough to find but be careful when screwing them in, in an ideal world they could do with being a few mm shorter but that would be an odd size.
