Ok so i got a 7970 and it doesnt have screws for the PCB. Where can i get'em? Also would it be OK to run for now without the screws? Thanks in advance

What screws are you referring to? The ones that hold the cooler on? Which model of card is it exactly? Might be easiest to upload a photo or two.

Yeh its a Sapphire Radeon HD7970. Not the VaporX

Probably would be pretty hard to track those down. Probably best off heading to a hardware shop and asking them. They have springs on them usually, but I'm not sure how necessary they'd be.

How many other screws are holding the heatsink on? As long as it's held on I'm sure it'd be fine, but cooling performance would probably be a bit sus.

the heatsink is just sitting on the PCB. i can take it off with no problem.

Nah I wouldn't. I'm sure you'd be able to get some sort of screws that would work.

do you think zipties would work?
