| 1478936 | 2021-07-28 03:37:00 | I went all adventurous and bought a Kingston M.2 NVME SSD to put in my rebuilding PC. When I got it home I realized neither the new ASUS mobo or the SSD has the appropriate fixing screws. What a PITA! Does anyone now where I can get these? PB Tech has an out of stock set of a gazillion for $70-odd which is definitely not what I want. I've seen some on Amazon but they don't ship to NZ. It also seems that there are two types - ASUS and the rest. I need ASUS. Any suggestions? |

| 1478938 | 2021-07-28 04:31:00 | Look for those screws & pieces that came with your Motherboard. That's the thing - there weren't any. The only thing in the mobo box was the mobo, the insert for all the external connectors, a setup disk and a minimalist user guide. |

| 1478939 | 2021-07-28 05:20:00 | Those are normally only a standard 2.0 x 3mm Screw, Every M.2 NVME I brought always comes with at least 1 screw in the Drive packet. On The odd occasion when I get fumble fingers and drop the damn thing and it bounces god knows where I hunt through old laptop Screws, some of them while slightly longer are the same size. Cant remember exactly, but is this your Board-- If so it should have had the Screw: 11017 |

Unless it fell out and disappeared when I was unpacking everything, there is definitely no package of screws, just the i/o shield. I'll have another fossick around to see if I can find it. |

| 1478942 | 2021-07-28 06:04:00 | Nope, no screws. The only packet I found were the ones that came with the power supply (black and much bigger, if you are interested). Photo of the mobo attached showing screw locations with no screws. 11019 |

It is not totally clear, but I think he robbed screws from the motherboard somehow. I don't want to do that. |
