Identifiying screw needed for change from Air to Water

hi,

I need help identifying the exact spec/name of the screws that AMD uses to mount the 2 plastic bricks (can't recall if they have a specific name) that mount the AMD standard cooler.

I'm currently using a Noctua NH-U12P SP2 but brought a Corsair H110i GT recently.

the Noctua uses Noctua's own screws and I can't for the life of me find where I put the original screws from AMD so now I'm hunting for them. does anybody know the specific name for them?

I'm talking about these screws:

since I live in sweden I had hoped there was a way around that duo to shipping costs and finding someone that even ships it here.
I will wait for a few more hours but I guess if nobody really knows the exact type those screws are I will have to bite the bullet and order a new mount.

but something like this should not cost you much in shipping at all. Its as lightweight as you can get. Personally I'd either

a) Find your old screws
b) Buy a new mount.

I usually find my old stuff in empty watercooling boxes that I never throw out. Perhaps you can find yours in the noctua box or something like that.
 
As far as I can tell from the internet they are 6-32 x 1/2"

I don't have any AMD boards to verify that but it sounds legit. PSU screws are the same thread so you could always try one of those in the backplate to check.

If you have any friendly local store, perhaps they have some dead mobos in stock that they can take the screws off. its not loss for them.
 
the screw size is 6/32 x 1/2" hope this helps :) I have just check by screwing my radiator screw which is 6/32 unc into my cpu backplate :) also I have the original screws as I use a waterblock and they are 1/2" inch
