    MSI gtx 660ti I lost the original screws..think it will be easy to replace them?

    Hi!
    I need to find screws to replace the screws for the stock heatsink of a MSI power edition 660ti. Do you think I will have a chance of finding screws say at the lower Lowes or Home Depot or not that easy?
    MSI wants $15 for "shipping" IF they can do it at all :/
    Thanks for any help.

    Might as well just buy an upgraded heatsink/fan.

    Stock coolers are not that great anyway and I doubt they are even worth the price of the postage to replace.

    If its the twin frozr its definately worth replacing - you're probably best measuring the screw hole then working it out from there. If I had to put a guess on the ones in mine then I'd be starting with an M3 machine screw and working up/down from there. You'll also need small insulating washers (probably available at your local pc shop, but easy enough to make from a cereal box).

    What that it is in 'murican sizes I've got no idea its a 3mm major thread diameter - which is about 1/8".
