CPU bracket screw thread size

[Jonathon33]

I went to go in to add a fan hub and upgrade my CPU Cooler with a Big SHURIKEN 3, for AMD the SHURIKEN shouldn't need anything but some rubber grommets, and the included screws and hardware. But to my dismay the motherboard has a Intel cpu cooler mount. So I wanted to try and use the intel adapters they fit issue is that the included screws did not thread into the cpu bracket. So I decided that I would take out the mobo and install the included intel bracket but then again another surprise can't remove it. So I was wondering if anyone has the thread size and pattern so I can buy aftermarket screws for the bracket.

When I reinstalled the stock cooler with new paste it preforms around 10 degrees cooler 80, but i was hitting 90  if I didn't go in and run manual voltage and clock speed before, which is why I was upgrading.
