Need assistance installing the CPU fan on your motherboard
Don't worry about the mess—it's just part of the job. I need some assistance because there are two holes beneath the fan screws, but the screws don’t reach them. There’s also nothing underneath those holes except the casing itself. If anyone can show me how to fix this or tell me which screws I should use, it would be a huge help.
Yes, I recall something similar—it seems to be a cross shape. Do you really need it? It appears the plate is located beneath the motherboard, so you may need to remove the board to access it. Which screws would be appropriate for this repair?
Typically it resembles a standard rectangle unless you were using a custom one. Yes, you really need it. Even if the screws fit into the holes on the motherboard, you’d still see the holes are significantly larger. I’m not sure how your computer is positioned from this photo. Under the motherboard? Absolutely. But the screw type? Not clear what you meant by that. The backplate isn’t linked to the motherboard directly; it only connects to the CPU cooler.
