The stock "screws" for mounting my LGA775 cooler have seen better days and I want to be sure they wont pop out, does anyone know if/what type of actual screw would fit an LGA775 screw hole?

If not, anyone have ideas on the best ways to make sure it will be secure. I'm just worried because my case is likely to be moved a lot and they are already a little shaky holding.

Thanks!
 
Never saw any "screws" for an Intel cooler before...they still use the junky push-pins. If your's are damaged you can just go to a hardware store and purchase some nylon machine screws/nuts to replace the push-pins in your stock hsf. (Either 6/32 or 8/32)
 
What brand/kind of Heatsink are you using. By chance is it the stock Intel heatsink that came with the CPU ?

The hole is 4.03mm / .1586 inch diameter but thats not going to help much.

It is a Thermaltake Contac 29. Since it is not a stock cooler, do you think I can still get away with using the nylon machine screws/nuts?
