That depends...what is the screw hole size of your fan?

Generally speaking, however, they are usually 3mm.

As long as you aren't tapping threads, it doesn't really matter... whatever fits.

use screws and nuts that pass the fan frame instead of the silly self-tap screws that come with the fans. get 1.25" screws (6-32 thread and matching nut will work) for a 25mm thick fan. for 38mm youll need a longer screw (go measure)

But he's British, so get a 4mm screw.
