Today I was replacing the thermal compound on my reference 5870 and when putting it back together I ended up with missing one of the eight big backplate screws which I wasn't able to find. The card still works but it is bugging me that a screw is missing and I would like to source some replacement screws or buy some if anyone has one (PM me). I attached a picture to show which screw I am talking about.

I guess what would help my search is if I would know what type of screw I am searching for :)

Tried Lowes/Home Depot and couldn't find anything like this screw...

Ive been looking for some screws like that for you,but none of my old cards have the same exact screw,I am able to match them up since I have 2 5870s to compare it too,I will keep looking..
 
Any luck with it yet?
If you have a big magnet you could move it all around the area you where working on the card and see if it picks it up.
 
A forum member zuppy was kind enough to send me the screw that I am missing :) I love [H]!
