Hey guys, so when I started building my 98 build today I ran into a problem related to the heatsink/fan on the GPU or rather installing it. First off I do not know what the spring-like screws are that are supposed to go into the holes of the card itself. I got mine off of eBay so I do not know even if the screws that the person already put on the heatsink is going to work or not but it should since it's made for a specific card and the holes line up. Would I as a result need a catch like another female piece on the other side of the card or something, and what would that be called. Here is the heatsink I got, it's official: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/NVIDIA-GeForce-ti … ?language=en_US
If someone could tell me would I am doing wrong here or the correct screws for this card that would be great because also I cannot fit the screws through the holes of the card so that is another obscure thing I ran into, overall it's just been plain confusing to me as this should work. Thanks.
