HL8 Motherboard Mounting Screw Size?

General
1

I am ready to mount my Gigabyte B650I AORUS Ultra MB to my brand new HL8 chassis and noticed that neither the motherboard nor the HL8 chassis came with any mounting screws. I’ve looked through the HL8 documentation and there doesn’t seem to be anything mentioned regarding the correct screw size.

Does anyone know what the right screw size is? Thanks in advance!

I’d contact info@45homelab.com, they’re typically pretty good about sending out missing parts quickly. I assume you got standoffs?

Typically motherboard screws are M3, eg;

Thanks for the quick reply! I think I may have some M3 short screws. I recently purchased a collection of small metric screws.

I’m currently testing my new motherboard setup and will report back once I have everything mounted.

I found some M3 screws but they don’t seem to be the right size. I sent an email off to 45drives support for more info.

Hi @zzatihz1,

I have sent you the screws for the standoffs which are 6-32 1/4in Panhead screws. I also appreciate you sending me the email, and pointing this out. I have requested our team to add the screws in the procedure and in future builds.

I also noticed the same, I think I found some screws are the correct size. Fingers crossed they don’t damage the stand-offs. The mounting plate for the motherboard doesn’t look cheap. :slight_smile:

I received the correct screws. Thank you very much! They installed just fine and the Gigabyte B650I AORUS motherboard is now properly installed.
