One little screw

I just got all the parts for my new computer after a 2 month process of waiting for individual parts to go on sale. I finish seating processor and cleaning it and then i realize i am missing one of the four screws for my heatsink. Grr!
I guess i will pop on the intel one for now but it will be a pain to swap them out.

Have you carefully searched your build area? Maybe the missing screw just rolled under something.

That's the usual hiding spot.

I checked thoroughly but i did this build one step at a time so i noticed as soon as i pulled the first screw out of the bag.
Thanks for the advice though. I do wish that more manufacturers would take a tiny hit on profits and offer an extra screw just in case.
