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.

    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!
