Hello. I'll try keep it short.
New computer's cpu ran too hot- jumping to 70C browsing the internet. Proper removal of stock thermal grease and reapplication didn't help as much as I wanted. Bought Hyper 212 Evo heatsink and fan. The supplied standoffs don't fit my MSI MS-7778 (Jasmine) Motherboard. Screws are too large. I need ones that are equal to the size of the ones on the retention plate.(Or A stand-off screw that will fit into the female side of the supplied stand-off) I wish I could describe it better.
FM2 socket with A8-5600k APU.
Upon contacting CM support I was directed to a part-replacement request. I don't need a replacement. I need new screws.
No idea where or even how to begin my search. I never foresaw this being a problem. Thank you for reading.
