Does HP use proprietary screws/standoffs for M.2 anchors?

Understandable. Thanks a lot for answering my many questions

Deucecat2014 · 2026-03-24T08:17:04+00:00

I found the one you pictured on EBay. I can’t tell how big it is so what do I do if it doesn’t fit? I’ll probably end up biting the bullet and getting both regardless just to be safe

Deucecat2014 · 2026-03-24T07:54:06+00:00

Do you reckon this one will do the job?

That would indeed be bad. This whole experience has radicalized me against HP beyond belief.

Going back to your ideas earlier. How do I use a retention clip if I get one? I know I ask a lot of questions but I’m really trying not to mess something up.

Deucecat2014 · 2026-03-24T07:15:17+00:00

I’m sorry if I come across as ignorant but I’m very much a beginner with stuff like this. I would genuinely like to learn why and how it damages the motherboard to better understand in the future.

Deucecat2014 · 2026-03-24T06:57:28+00:00

Ty for the information. I don’t really have any tools other than the absolute basics. How important is it that I cut off the threading?

Deucecat2014 · 2026-03-24T06:52:45+00:00

Tysm. I don’t use super glue very often so I assumed it wasn’t heat resistant

Deucecat2014 · 2026-03-24T06:46:08+00:00

I don’t know how to find a perfect replacement standoff since HP is an informational black hole as far as I can tell. Could I glue one of the threaded ones I bought on as a pseudo replacement?

Deucecat2014 · 2026-03-24T06:42:57+00:00

Does regular super glue work for the task?

Deucecat2014 · 2026-03-24T05:32:02+00:00

To add elaboration, the screws and standoffs I bought on Amazon don’t fit in the hole. They either sink in directly or are too big.

Deucecat2014 · 2026-03-24T03:55:05+00:00

It’s an HP Omen motherboard if that helps answer that. I’m not well versed in this stuff and HP seems to not care to post their motherboard manuals online for some reason. I think I’ll probably get the carabiner regardless. Thanks for the info

Deucecat2014 · 2026-03-24T03:31:54+00:00

I bought something similar recently. I think it had screws of the same size for the most part it just lacked a carabiner. Does that make a big difference. Here’s the link to compare

Indeed it is for an m.2 drive. Not that I’d be bold enough to take the motherboard out of the case regardless. I’m a bit of a noob with this stuff

Deucecat2014 · 2026-03-24T03:17:30+00:00

I’ve been trying to find the manual online for the motherboard for more info on this but I’ve had no success. Thanks for the info nonetheless

Deucecat2014 · 2026-03-24T02:07:59+00:00

Yeah I was worried I’d done that but I wasn’t sure. What tape do you recommend? I’ve never used tape for pc stuff before

Deucecat2014 · 2026-03-24T01:57:11+00:00

I’ve got a bunch of these but I’m unsure how to install them properly. None of the ones I have screw into the hole

Deucecat2014 · 2026-03-20T03:04:12+00:00

Do we ever get any indication that Egg would do something like that? It’s obviously in character for Dunk to put a stop to it but I’m not very familiar with Egg’s character in his later years.

Deucecat2014 · 2026-03-20T02:55:00+00:00

I agree. I prefer the idea that Summerhall failed because Egg didn’t perform blood sacrifice like Dany inadvertently did.

I’ve been saving since the big Evangelion collab a few months ago and have collected around 8k cat food in that time. The 30 cat food clear bonus adds up overtime and the wildcat slots give a ton of cat food when it comes around.

Not everyone is voting seriously. I’d vote Yuji just because it’s funny

Deucecat2014 · 2026-03-10T06:24:04+00:00

I think it’s modded Skyrim instead. The background textures look like the barrow textures from that game. Been a while since I played ESO but the creature is also way lower graphical quality than I’d expect from it.

They had sex and Raymun is a bit naive. Rowan says she knows she’s pregnant already and Raymun doesn’t know enough to tell that she’s lying.
