Replacement screws for fan included with Wraith Cooler

Hi all,

So I recently moved and after a few weeks I noticed my heatsink fan was only covering half of the metal part and was hanging down the right side. Turns out that somehow 3 out of 4 screws either fell out or mysteriously vanished.

This picture is similar to the cooler I have and these are the screws I'm looking for, does anyone know either what they're called or where to get replacements?

Also, is it bad to play games when it's not fully covering the metal even though the main part is still mostly covering the CPU underneath?

Go to your nearest computer sales/repair store, take the cooler fan assembly & remaining screw with you.

But i would be worried about if the missing ones are in the case (or psu) and may cause a short.

No, you should not continue using the pc in case the final screw gives way, the fan drops and damages other components?

Please make sure to find the screws because they can cause short circuits. For the screws, just go to a PC-shop if available in your area.
