SSD Screw and heatsink

[gperez2]

Im trying to install an SSD on my bakerms 8768 and realized i dint have the screw necessary to properly intall my SSD. What kind of screw can I use without strupping the threads on the motherboard? Thanks. Also, what heatsink do you all recommend? any and all advice appreciated 🙏

Hi @gperez2 

Usually the screw comes with the SSD, the standard size is 3 mm. About the heatsink, many times it is not necessary and this should also be sold with the SSD so that it is easy to install and covers the chips well.

Ive read other forums online and most SSDs do not come with screws, only the motherboards do. Thats my problem though, my pc didnt come with screws and how when ai want to install an ssd, im missing the screw necessary to keep it in place 😕 im thinking of buying a kit and see if by chance any of those fit. 🤷🏽‍♂️

the size is already indicated, if you want you can buy a kit.

Sorry it took me nearly a week to get back to you 😭. Anyway, I did in fact go through buying a 500 piece kit from amazon which had all types of screws. I found out the best screw for my SSD installation was an M3x6mm screw. I hope anyone with this motherboard and this type of issue can be helped. Thanks for ur help i really do appreciate it. 🙏🙏
