Hi,
I currently have a M.2 drive on my mobo which has this heat sink on it: Supermicro SNK-C0121L-1 22W x 129.65L x 4.35H mm and just bought another one for another M.2 stick here:
Here it is on my mobo:
The question is once you unscrew it out, you'll see the two standoffs below it:
but the three visible standoffs appear to be screwed into the board but only the top black one is present and if you look at the picture of the screws that come with this heat sink below:
you see that the external peg of the standoff is not threaded. So how do you secure the standoff in the mobo with the little dark screw to hold it down?
Only the inside of the standoff on top and bottom is threaded.
Fun fact: I spoke with Supermicro support earlier today and got an email back from them where the engineer claims that they do not offer any compatible M.2 heat sinks for this mobo and to get a 3rd party one. I showed them my receipt from the reseller stating that only Supermicro would support this product.
Anyone have a suggestion for how to secure one of the standoffs needed to hold down this heat sink before I attempt to perform another procedure?
Thanks,
Henry
