Only 6 scews in nine hole

skyfreeze · Nov 28, 2016

Hello guys Please help answers:

I am building a phanteks enthoo pro M glass with Rampage V 10 edition.

Because of the back rpg of the mb and the case is alittle curve at the right end of the motherboard so i cant get the 3scews in because the scew is too short. Is ok to just use the 3 screws on the left and 3 at the middle ?

Thank you

You can do whatever you think will work. Do you think that the 6 screws are holding the weight of the motherboard well? Or does it look like the motherboard is bending or sagging in a way that could damage it?

I would try to spread out the screws so that the weight is well distributed, but as for whether or not it's safe, It's your call.

Hmmm . The mb is kinda go straight and a a little up at the right end of the mb because of the mb rpg back cover and the a little curve of the case so the mb is not straight but i think the 6 screws which are 3 ( up middle and down) at the left and 3 at the middle will hold tightly . Should i risk?

Without looking at it I wouldn't be able to say. If the motherboard has a SLIGHT bend it should be ok, they are relatively flexible, it just depends how much the bend is.

I think it is slightly bend if it is average bend i should know . but i dont think it could be serious since at the right side have only power cable 20+ pin usb 3 and m.2 slot and seta slot. and the gpu is at the middle. aw hard choice

even if you can get 1 more screw in it would help

though not really sure why you cant get the other 3 in with out seeing it

I try to screw in it is too short i can see the 3 whole at right if i could get longer screw but i cant anywhere share me a link of longer it would be help.

i think they are m3 screws should be easy to get from ebay or some where

mcnumpty23 · Nov 28, 2016

would have to guess at the length you will need though as dont know how much longer you need

so maybe m3 x 8mm

or m3 x 10mm

though you can measure the ones you have and guess how many mm longer you need

If mine is M3*5 i think m3*8 is enough i will if it match thank you

Are you using standoffs under the mobo (I hope), if so and you don't screw the srews into the standoffs you can well be asking for something to short out, and bye-bye mobo and possibly more

you are welcome

I find 3 scew which is m3*10 that can match but the point is it is steel screw (standard white screw). So now my board have six screw which are black and 3 white standard screw. is it ok?

mcnumpty23 · Nov 30, 2016

shouldnt make any difference not all motherboard screws are black in the old days they were all plain steel white/silver screws
