I've got a Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P AM3+ Motherboard and a Cooler Master K350 Mid Tower Case.

There are 3 rows, like this:

o o
o o o
o o

But the right 2 standoff holes on the 2nd row are 4.5cm~ apart on the mobo, but 7.5cm~ apart on the case. No way to make them fit.

Is it okay if I take the unaligned one out and only use 6 standoffs ?
