    Hi!

    I just ordered me a set with 880M which I thought was gonna fit my 680M heatsinks BUT, it seems like the backplate on the GPU I got uses much smaller screws then what alienware uses so my heatsinks dont fit

    Do anyone know the size of these screws? Seems to be smaller then M2.

    Which computer do you have? Also it looks like you ordered an Alienware GPU and plan on putting it in a Sager computer? Unfortunately that wont work, only Clevo cards will. Or did you do vice versa and are trying to put a Clevo card in an Alienware?

    He's trying to install Clevo 880M cards into an M18x R2.

    He should be able to use the backplate from his old GPU.
