Building my first ever computer and just trying to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.
1. Does it matter which type of screw I used and if I only used 4 (correctly)?
My mobo only needs 6 standoffs & screws and I accidentally used the wrong screw for one slot. It fits in the standoff, but doesn't tighten and it's stuck in the standoff as well so I can't remove it without applying a lot of force, which I'm scared to do. Also, I didn't put a screw in one slot because it is right under the GPU.
Besides this, my motherboard feels really sturdy and doesn't move unless I move it forcibly.
2. Does it matter if a screw touches the small dots surrounding the slot?
