Quick rad question

I'm moving up from an old Koolance system so this is really like my first build. My components are:

Gigabyte 3D Aurora in silver -- This thing looks pretty sweet
AquaXtreme White Water Limited Edition block
Black Ice Pro II rad
DD CSP-MAG pump

My question is how exactly do you mount the rad? Do I just need long screws that go through the two LED fans and into the rad or what? Just want to make sure I don't screw this up.
 
That's what I did! some 4inch long 6/32 (pleeease dont get mad at me if this is wrong, I don't understand the imperial method for measuring screw diameters!) through the fans and into the BIP radiator works well for me. It'll take a bit of forcing to get the screws in at first, but it's cool, and helps thread the connections. Also, don't be afraid to let the screw go alll the way through the copper fins of the radiator... And into the mounting hole on the other side. The way the holes are lined up you won't have to worry about puncturing anything important, you'll just seperate (and possibly remove) a couple of the hundreds of copper fins!

Good luck man ;)
 
For the life of me I can't find the right size screws for this thing, does anyone know what I should be looking for?
 
I just went to home depot and picked up a box of 12 of them... I brought the rad and tried them out *illegally* in the store... just 4 inch long square headed machine screws...
 
I don't have a Home Depot close enough to warrent a trip to get a few screws, but I do have a friend with a drill press.

Hole slightly bigger, problem solved.
