    Hi there,

    I am looking for replacement screws as one of the screws has a stripped head and I am completely unsure as to what type of screws are suitable or where i can find them with reasonable shipping costs.

    some say M1.6 x 4mm is fine while others have the correct screws but the shipping is too expensive.

    that's the thing...1) the screws used are not of standard length, and 2) i can't confirm is M1.6 x 4mm is too the right screw type.

    I'd be very surprised if they're not a standard length, either in mm or inches.

    I'm in the same boat. Got a stripped screw doing a repaste. I have an 880m in a clevo p570wm. Any help on finding the right screws for replacement would be appreciated!

    I don't know about you guys but when I upgraded to the 970M, Hidevolution had to provide me with screws to fit the heatsink to the card and they were different from the AMD ones.. I think the best option would be to contact your manufacturers and ask for the screws...
