Can someone let me know if the founder edition heatsink uses M2 or M2.5 (I know M3 don't fit, I have some on hand and they are too big)? And what length are they? I managed to lose the bag with all the screws in it.  Thanks in advance, Che Lok

Which screws are you asking about ?
Post a picture of where it goes and I'll look at mine, removed from my water cooled FE.

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?&_nkw=gtx+1080+heatsink - Ask the whichever seller you buy from to include the screws. IMO this is the easiest way to get all the screws as the heatsink screws are custom w/springs and the backplate screws are tiny custom annoying things.

Our FAQ for this is still accurate to my knowledge. You can find it HERE. "The smaller screws are a M2.5 5mm, while the larger screws with the springs are M2.5 6.9mm."

Help center is a bit screwy (no pun intended). It seems to want you to link to ?f=59363 - Instead of: afmmain.aspx?faqid=59363 Oh god I've become the equivalent of the person who corrects spelling mistakes.

There are two kind of screws that attach the PCB to the heatsink, here's a photo:  I do not have the back plate, so normal philips or pozidriv screws will do. I know the founder edition have some over-built fastening system with socket standoffs and countersunk screws from tear-down videos, but I don't need that. I just have the PCB and heatsink.

Do you mean this FAQ: https://www.evga.com/supp...ewfaq.aspx?faqid=59653
That's the one! I had opened the POST codes FAQ, searched the screws FAQ but it didn't change the URL. Thanks for catching that!
