Sup totse
After purchasing a completley new rig, a friend of mine has sold me his spare Coolermaster Hyper212 heatsink for next to nothing. The problem is that I seem to have misplaced (read, gone forever) one of the four nuts that secure the heatsink to the backplate on the motherboard. Now, there doesn't really seem to be anything all that special about the nuts that came with it, so would I be good to just go and pick up some standard one from a hardware store or would this most certainly fuck my shit up ?

Really though I don't see a problem with just buying a new one. As long as it's the same as the old one.
You sure ? I've been told the same thing by most of the people with technical knowledge that I've asked so far, but I just want that extra assurance.
I don't exactly want it shorting anything out in there. Lol, I'm probably just being paranoid, but yeah, it's all new and I can't afford to replace anything.
Also make sure you've got some thermal paste for the CPU, just in case you haven't already got that handy
