EliteDesk 800G1 Ultraslim
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, I have been trying to find out the type/size of screws required to fix a dedicated graphics card to the MXM slot of my EliteDesk 800G1 Ultraslim.

I see that other people appear to have the same issue (https://www.reddit.com/r/computerrepair/comments/n3px2f/a_little_embarassed_to_ask_this_question_abo...

I have tried to find the motherboard info for this but to no avail. 

Please let me know.  Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the advice.

But I believe that the link and answers you provided are related to the heat sink once the the graphics card is already mounted.

There are four holes in the middle area of the graphics card which allow a heat sink to be mounted onto the graphics card itself.

However, there are two perimeter screws which hold the graphics card itself down. 

See the middle picture in the Reddit link that I posted and you will be able to see two of the holes in the inner part of the graphics card that are meant to mount a heatsink.

If you see the third picture, you will see one of the holes closer to the center of the graphics card that is used to mount a heatsink. 

I believe those are the screws that the link you posted is referring to. 

I may be wrong but those screws appear to be thicker than the ones that I need.

mxm card mounting is usually the same screw used to mount a m.2 2280 ssd
