I could use some help identifying the original GTX 970 screws apart from the GTX 970 backplate screws. I've kept them separate but I lost track of which screws are for what.
 
I know the screws with the blue marking son them are the backplate screws, but I have two other sets I'm not positive about.
 



 
Thank you!

    Screw Type 3 is the backplate screw version, Type 2 is the original card version.
    I'm pretty sure they both have the same screw thread density with the backplate screw being a little bit longer.
    Type 1 doesn't seem to be GTX 970 related, imo.

    Thanks, this is what I thought too. I have two sets of the Type 1 screw since i have two GTX 970s. I have no idea where these came from. I vaguely remember they might have came from the GTX 970 backplates as spares or something. Maybe it was mistakenly shipped with the backplates.

    if they were some kind of spare screws they still would have the same thread density and length.
    but they have a different density and length than the other 2 types, that makes me think they are form a different product.
