This topic is great.
Bought the cooler on Ali. As expected, the thread in the plate was totally wrong. The holes had M2 or M2.5 (don't remember exactly) but screw had M3.
So I had to buy a thread tap M3, re-drill holes with right diameter (2.5mm) and make a new thread. Because the plate is aluminum it's not so difficult. I liked the process and cut new thread in the almost all holes. An important thing is to hold tools perpendicularly, lubricate the thread tap and not hurry on.
