Asked by TechyNinja42
I recently purchased a new SSD to expand my storage, and I installed it under my GPU. However, I'm having trouble securing it because none of my screws seem to fit. I'm using an ASUS Prime B760 Plus DDR5 motherboard. Any advice or recommendations would be really appreciated!

Youโ€™re probably using an M.2 SSD, right? The box it came in should have everything you need, so make sure to check for any extra parts.

You usually need M.2 standoffs along with tiny screws. Did your motherboard come with any extra parts?

TechyNinja42: I got it pre-built a while back, and there were a lot of screws in the box. I watched some YouTube videos and bought the same screws, but they just won't fit.

Your motherboard should have come with some little plastic bags containing standoffs and screws. If you didnโ€™t notice them at first, you might think they were empty. If youโ€™ve already tossed the box, youโ€™ll need to buy some more. Just keep in mind that sizes can differ between different motherboards, even across the same brand.
