I just bought an Epox 9NDAJ3 from a member here on [H]. I went to install the retention mechanism, but the screws included had some type of plastic riser and a spring, not to mention twice as long as needed.

Are these the right screw or am I doing something wrong? Where can I find these screws? My computer is stripped apart on the table so I would like to get this resolved and fixed asap.

Thanks!

If the seller used alternative cooling on the cpu (Zalman, Thermalright, etc.) Things might have gotten mixed up prior to shipping, as they are different than stock. You should have gotten the standard motherboard backing plate and top plastic frame to mount an A64 hs/f. If in fact you do have those, then the necessary screws are easily obtained from any hardware store.
 
the heatsink fits flush and tight with the retainer but the screws are in the way. Is it possible to maybe have the screws that are too long cut down or find some of the correct length and size?
 
er.. how tall are the heads of the screws? it should all fit in just fine. you still have to stock retension bracket too?
 
i went to home depot tonight and got some screws that were shorter... everything seems to be working fine...except it wont boot to windows! heh
 
how are temps in the bios?
you should be aware that the stock thermal pad should not be used more than once
 
now all i have to do is see how well this PNY shit memory works...
It will run at 1T though, but im so out of the overclocking world its not even funny. I just read your tutorial, and i dont have hardly any of those options...

i have an EPoX 9NDA3J w/ a venice 3000
