missing screws for Gigabyte X99-SLI - help needed

[mraroid]

Hi... I received my factory sealed Gigabyte X99-SLI with no screws to screw the motherboard into to my large ATA case. I tried what screws I had, and non fit.

Can someone tell me what the screw size is for this motherboard? I can run to Lowells or Home Depot and buy some screws.

Thanks in advance.

The screws come with the case, not the motherboard. As for what size they, maybe 6/32, I could be wrong.

It depends on the case, but usually they're 6mm (I've seen weird ones though that are slightly larger or smaller 5.5-6.5mm).

Ah! That makes sense. OK, checked the case and no screws. I will buy some 6mm screws at Lowells or Home Depot and see how I do. My case is a Thermaltake Urban S71. I will now check to see if the case company has a web site and look for data on my case.

Thank to everyone for helping me. I have built almost all of my own computers from the ground up. But it has been several years now, and I have to say, things have really changed. It is helpful for a ol' timer like me to have a place like this where I can ask questions. I have to say, I am off my game. Thanks again everyone.
