Also, nobody has specified the exact diameter of these holes. The alpha pal heatsink appears to be using #6 ANSI mounting screws. Can anybody confirm this or specify an exact hole diameter

TNX, Felix
#6 will fit all mobo holes. the original hole size used to be 0.210 inch, but most mobo manufacturers have reduced it to 0.150 inch.

In the USA, use 6-32 or 6-24 (?) machine screws. Nylon is just fine.
