Looking for 2mm washers/spacers for Eisbaer CPU cooler

So I upgraded my CPU and I can’t seem to find 2mm thick spacers for the LGA 1700 Intel CPU. I only have the original .5mm spacers. What kind of washer/spacer could I use as a substitute?

You can see from the 5mm spacers what diameter they have. You can simply use this as a guide and then buy 2mm high ones from the DIY store. Basically, it is only important that they are exactly 2mm high. No 2.1mm and no 1.9mm.

That’s the problem, I have been unable to find 2mm thick spacers. The designation of the spacer is M3, which is defined as an outer diameter of 7mm, an inner diameter of 3.2mm, and so far have only been able to find .5mm ones in my local stores. So unless it’s acceptable to stack .5mm spaces to make a 2mm one, I’m stumped.

You mean 0,5mm spacers? Sure you can stack them. I dont see a reason why it should not work.
