I'm looking for screws for watercooling - a part that I woefully forgot until I tried to assemble things together.

You guys are awesome! Thanks!
What type of screws would I be looking for? There's tons of screws on these sites (Includ Pornhub)

Depends on the manufacturer of your radiator. The screw specifications should be listed on the radiator product page. You might get lucky and find the screw type you need at your local hardware store (Home Depot, etc); if not, Amazon is also a good place to buy screws in bulk. Also, radiators typically use non-standard screw lengths (i.e. 27mm screw for 25mm fan, this is to not puncture the fins), so grab a pack of washers as well.
I would say, if there is a screw made, it's probably listed on one of these two (three) sites.
That being said - you do kinda need to know what kind of screw your looking for.
Usually screws are sold by three metrics: diameter, thread pitch, and length.
Sometimes you get lucky and there's only one or two common thread pitches. That's usually the hardest part to gauge.
HD/Lowes usually have a tool that lets you figure out diamter/pitch. Sometimes automotive shops do as well.
Being PC watercooling, odds are it's something metric.

Go to your radiators product page, look up specifications, you should see a diagram with the information you need. m5 is pretty common on radiators.
