I want to mount my EVGA SuperNova 850 T2 onto a new Open Bench Table V2. The screws supplied with the OBT are too short and possibly not the right thread size (they claim to be 6#32 screws but they are too short and don't fit correctly into the EVGA PS frame.
The EVGA owner's manual does not specify the screw size provided with the PS (the screws are very short and don't work for the OBT). Longer screws are not provided by EVGA in the box.
Does anyone know the actual size and thread count of the screws supplied by EVGA for this PS? I need to know so that I can go to the hardware store to find longer screws.
Thank for any info.
RESOLVED: The OBT user installation manual states that the device comes with a set of six M3 metric screws and a set of six 6#32 screws. Each set of screws can be differentiated by the cut on the screw heads. M3 screws have a straight cut slot on their heads and 6#32 screws have a cross [ + ] slot for a Philips type screw driver.
 
The problem - both sets of screws have the cross [+] slot on their heads and (without careful inspection) their threads look very much alike, although the M3 has slightly finer threads. There must have been a manufacturing change since the manual was written. The EVGA power supply uses the 6#32 screws.

    We're glad to hear that you were able to resolve the issue. In most cases ATX PC power supplies will use the 6#32 type screw for mounting to the case.
