Use 6 or 9 Standoffs?

Kevin McCutcheon · Dec 9, 2013

I just got my case in and I was wondering if I am suppose to use stand offs on all the points where screws are located? Pic provided. 3 holes are raised up and seems if I use standoffs it would raise the MOBO too high as opposed to the other 6?

I have 1 standoff to the left installed and the one in the middle un installed

i cannot view your pictures (blocked here), with that, i guess you could try it.
i mean if it will bend you should see it and remove it. 6 is ok, just check that the board is supported enough. esp those areas that have some load on them. like the top near the cpu area, near the gpu also. For me the bottom is not that important, just be careful when plugging/unplugging stuff.

but since i cant see the images, that's all i can say for now

there are different configurations for the standoffs for different motherboard sizes(ATX,EATX etc). The best method I recommend is to hold the motherboard over the case and see which standoffs you need to screw in, based on the locations of the holes for screws on the motherboard.

DO NOT have more standoffs then holes on your motherboard, and make sure they are aligned.
