In this video I explain the difference between all of the hardware screws that are included in your new case and where to use them. Many times I have seen the mistakes being made by using the wrong hardware screws while building a gaming computer. Doing this can cause damage to your case and/or components. Since there are no instructions showing what screws to be used and where I figure I would make this video to help new computer building people. If you are in the Savannah GA are stop by my shop and say hello.

You would think it would be easy for manufactures to individually baggie these screws with labels on
I agree!
Exactly the lesson i was looking for 🙏
Dude your a great teacher my ninja!
I’m building my first pc. Shits stressful and scary not gonna lie 😅 but people like yourself online are great help and support. Hope you know that 👍👏
Great! Good luck with the build.
You visually demonstrated an important point Tim; when possible, test fit a screw using your fingers. Especially when it comes to the stand offs; nothing says you can't figure out the screws for them by hand tightening first.
Thank god for you man. I was watching a separate video and they guy literally said to install the motherboard but didn’t even bother to say which screws to use on it. Thank you so much!
Glad the video helped.
3 types of screws are used in pc cases: #6-32 UNC (North American standard, coarse) M3 (metric, fine) and fan screws (very coarse)
Very useful video you should put time stamps to each screw for each part
Types of screws
Standoffs (mounting motherboard) 6:50
Motherboard screws 8:56
fans screws 11:04
Drive catty screw (dont how to spell this) 12:20
Power supply screws 13:17
Side panel screws 14:29
Mounting drives screws 15:29
??? 18:17
Thanks for commenting.
The only video in which I found answers to all my questions. Thank you so much for sharing this very useful information with us.
Glad the video helped.
Brilliant just the tutorial i needed
Great!
I can think of a few people that would benefit from this video, Tim. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, sir. This will be helpful for new builders. I have had to be creative to cut out some standoffs that had the wrong screw jammed in them.
Indeed. Thanks for watching and commenting.
It's good , for you Tim, these folks are keeping you busy.
As soon as I saw the ridge around the screw I knew which one to use. Thank u sir
Thanks for commenting.
Good video Señor Timster
Thanks Retro
This video is so important, I just learned after watching this video that I had been using the wrong screws for mobo for past 15 years damn....😢
I had changed almost 12-13 mobos in those years.
I was using smps screws all this time for mounting mobo 😂
Thanks for commenting.
I have been jamming those screws in there sometimes when I didn't have any other ones. I really appreciate your tutorial! Perhaps now I can get everything fit up right! :D
Glad the video helped.
I bought a Thermaltake Versa H22 Black ATX case. It came with three stand-offs. I bought a pack of stand-offs that had zero negative comments on Amazon and not one of them will fit in the Thermaltake. Not a single one. I guess I've got to just go buy another case. I can't believe this, I'm dumbfounded.
Yeah sometimes case manufacturers use their own proprietary stuff. That can be frustrating.
Spin screw to left until it drops down into place, then spin to right. Never cross thread again. Very useful when threading into plastic
Thanks for the comment.
Brilliant!!
Exact video I was looking for..I'm missing a few stand offs and motherboard screws to fit my old MSI g43 with Antec nx400 case. I ordered screws from Amazon ,fingers crossed to get the right ones.
Thank you Tim 🙏
Sounds like you are going in the right direction.
Thank you. 🙌🏾
No problem 😊
I'd like to know if it's customary or needed to install paper garments on motherboards or leave them off ??
Interesting. I have never NOT gotten a case w/ such instructions.
Yea BILLS !! Kickin ASS !
One of my friends wanted me to build their PC so I came round and they already put the MB in the case. So I finished the PC turned it on and it sparked. I looked again and they had used a PSU screw and shredded the top layer of the board and bridged a trace in the board with the screw.
Not good.
Really well explained.
Thanks for commenting.
Very helpful video. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Interesting but NO mention of the actual screw sizes, like 6-32 or similar.
this helped me in 2023
Great!
The problem is that a lot of new computer builders watch content creators who show building computers but don't have the proper qualifications to do so. I am not naming names here , so lets just move on
I’m new to building computers. Where do I get those screws? Do they sell that box of screws separately? Thanks
Your new case will come with the screws you need.
All you need is short 3/4 inch fine thread screws with a tiny amount of breakable Lock tight, NO cordless screwdrivers
Can't tell you how many RUclipsrs I have seen using a cordless driver. WHY?!? Absolutely no need to; you lose the advantage of touch and what's the rush?
I only use the electric driver for the fan screws. Thanks for commenting.
@@TimsComputerRepair smart. You're welcome Tim. Go BILLS !
Have a Happy Thanksgiving Tim. Good luck to the BILLS tomorrow night. They better not lose the Division to the PATS !
Thanks for commenting.
Just put my retro AT PC board into an ATX HP case. I got one screw to line up. Lol
Not sure what you did in this one but this video seems a bit screwed Tim :/
oh stop screwing around
You got a screw loose
this is so screwed up
damn all these screws are fallen in the broken floor tiles
@@welshtony1 lol
I tried to install q300l case standoff but it won’t go all they way in
Is screw are comes from all parts of pc or not
Trying to find screw for graphic card
Can anyone tell me what is the size of case fan screws?
Very useful video Tim, thanks a lot. Finally I know what screws to use 👍
Thanks for commenting.
If a motherboard is mounted like this I would not dare lifting it bij holding the cooler........, most cases overhere come with the screws and stand-off's in little plastic bags, almost every motherboard comes with a manual detailing the type of screw, the numbers included and it's purpose like: MB, SSD, ODD etc. Still often it is quite difficult to match the actual 'little' screw with the drawing in the manual........
Thanks for commenting.
I just got an msi board with no screws! Lol what do I do? How do I connect my motherboard to these standoffs?
A new case will have the screws.
@TimsComputerRepair mine has some screws that fit the standoffs, but are to short to screw my motherboard onto
@@TimsComputerRepair I see 3 standoff screws but that's it
@@TimsComputerRepair the screws I was referring to in the first comment are ssd screws
Dude… u breezed over screwing it in like it’s the easiest thing in the world, I’ve tried doing this for 4 hours now and can’t fucking seem to get the screw in right while holding the stick
Unrelated to the video (since there is NO methods anywhere, (RUclips, Reddit, Tom's Hardware, LTT, ANYWHERE))
I have an ASUS TUF Gaming X570 Plus WiFi and a Zotac RTX 3060 GPU and the screw for the MB is too loose and wont fit all the way, the screws that came with the MB suck and will fall out,
I was told that if you don't have your GPU screwed in correctly, it can risk irreversible damage to the MB and/or GPU,
I don't have any tools to help the situation and I'm worried about damaging my MB/GPU
To ANYONE reading this comment, what do I do?
Not surprised that someone who would pick this case, would also screw up their build.
Who the BILLS got this week Tim?
(if I had to guess, the JETS and if so, definite win, LOL)
You're screwed if you use the wrong screws. I would RECOMMEND the I-FIX IT screwdriver sets Those side case screws are called "knull " because you can turn them with your fingers without friction sort of like a wingnut
lol
Umm...whoever coined that name didn't Google it first. (Don't Google knull at work, it's NSFW).
Thanks for commenting.
Using a fan to screw down the MB OMG OMG OMG
Cases I have bought and would expect most do, come with instructions. which includes about the screws. It really is about dumbass laziness.
Never really seen instructions on exactly what screws go where. Thanks for commenting.
Ugh, BILLS, what are you doing ?!!?
Why is building a PC so complicated? It's like a college project without a guide
Keep learning, it was hard for me at first but it gets easier the more I learned just use Pc partpicker also im in grade 9
seeing the wonky way that the motherboard was seated made me cringe so bad
Thanks for commenting.
how can you talk about the screws so much and still not say their measurements, not helpful at all
Screw it!!!
Oh look, another really popular and so awesome, NZXT 500 series case......LOL/SMH
the entire workmanship of the build is so bad. makes me cringe. Wrong screws, no IO shield, and no intake fans... SMH.
Thanks for commenting.
I hope the motherboards are raised not to be in contact with the metal case. But can't there be a simpler design to do that?
PC build is still a messy process with wire clutter and fragile motherboard pins and ports.. not for the weak minded 😒
please skip to 5:42 to save you some time
I got two video card bracket screws with mine they're like really long stand offs and I just can't for the life of me figure out what they are for as it didn't come with a GPU bracket or anything lol
Thank you. Very helpful video!
Glad it was helpful!
