Quick question: what size are the screws that screw into the standoffs that secure the motherboard? I bought a new board but it was an open box. Didn't come with an I/O shield, standoffs, or screws. I have extra standoffs but no screws. I'm assuming all boards use the same screws. The ones for my last Gigabyte board were hex-head and black. This new board is a Giagbyte as well.

Was going to order new StarTech screws from Amazon. Are these the right ones? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00028CAIK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Those are not the right screws (those are made for PCI Expansion cards mounting a power supply ETC. If you use those to screw down a motherboard into it's standoff's you will end up stripping the standoff.

All systems use the same screws.

These should me the right type:

But as SR-71 said the screws to the standoff's are included with cases. (I admit it is easy to misplace those small bags)
