I'm in a tricky spot since I bought a new cooler for my CPU, thinking it would help with temperatures and sound, but I forgot to get the necessary brackets for my motherboard. Luckily, I managed to locate them, though I lost two screws along the way. Are there any alternatives or similar screws I can use as a substitute?

What kind of cooler are you talking about? Usually people don’t use brackets.

I received a water cooler model Master Liquid 240 from the manufacturer.

They're simple screws; pick one you have, check its size, visit a hardware store and get a matching one, adjust the length if necessary. [edit] bring a screw along and seek guidance when uncertain.

I just wanted to check it out, I didn’t feel the need to deal with all the trouble before.

The approach you discussed seems to be the fastest option. You could also check the measurements yourself or purchase items from sites like eBay or Amazon.

np, I figured you were hoping things get organized soon. I’m really looking forward to finishing the builds, and I’ll keep working until it’s all done, even when I’m tired or frustrated.
