    I'm working on a new mod, and one thing I need is color coordinated screws. MDPC, perfection and a serious case of OCD. I'm getting the ASRock Z77 Extreme11 board and a RAM cooler as well, and I wanted to know if anyone knew what size screws they used to put them together.

    I'm planning to heat blue a lot of the screws for this project, so I need to get all my extras in and color them before I start disassembly/reassembly. This isn't the only insane thing I'm working on for this mod, but it's bad enough I guess.

    Silly as it sounds and sorry for stating the obvious, But I would have thought the best people to ask would be EK themselves

    They use M3 x 12mm screws in the Dominator/Monarch RAM blocks.

    I can't get onto the EK website but they look like countersunk M3 screws from the images I've found for the board blocks.

    Edit: I'd also suggest sending a pm to Chris, he still might have a spare block for that motherboard.

    His block is for the X79, I have a Z77.

    I'm completely capable of waiting, so wait I shall until I get them.
