Insert facepalm icon here
 
Long story short I removed those heatsinks from day 1 and have a full coverage waterblock on my board. It's working fine but in the hopes I would be able to step up my 760 to a 770 I started going through my "stuff" looking for those screws and heatsinks. Well, I found the heatsinks and 4 or 5 screws but I know there are more than 4 or 5 of them. Can't find them for jack - They are so small there is no telling what happened to them.
 
So, is there any information anywhere that shows what size screws these are or is it possible to order these from someone? I am kinda doubting EVGA will sell them but just wondering where to go from here. I can hit up the hardware store but they are so tiny I am concerned they won't have anything this small.
 
Any advice/help is appreciated as usual guys!

    Well, here... I'll answer my own question in the event someone else ever needs this information hopefully the wonderful search feature can help them out...
     
    M2's - All I could find were M2x8 and the stock ones are slightly smaller, I'm thinking M2x4.
     
    For what it's worth I contacted EVGA this morning and asked what size screw they are and I got a "Oh, we don't have that kind of information available to us". (Shane, I need that facepalm icon more and more these days I tell ya!)

    Unbelievable.  The correct answer should have been:  "I"m sorry sir, we don't have that information readily available to us here, but if you give me your email address I'll find out the answer and email you as soon as possible." 
     
    "...and, if I can't find out the answer then I'll send you a new board."

    Well... I could only find M2x8's and they are a bit too long, which is really not a big deal if you have a pair of linesman pliers to cut them with.
     
    M2x6 would probably be about right, though.

    McMasters has M2 screws from 2mm to 25mm in length:

    Click on Machine Screws and then scroll down to the list of metric screws for the M2.  Then select the length.
