I have a case where the standoffs have something that looks like the link below for ATX motherboards which I have previously owned.

I now have a new motherboard (Gigabyte H110M-S2H DDR4 micro-ATX motherboard) and because I could not remove any of these standoffs from my case, now I have 2-3 screws missing.

1. Can I remove these standoffs or do I have to buy those brass standoffs?
2. Is it ok to just use my pc without 2-3 screws missing?

Thanks in advance.




 
Solution
1. Would recommend, only about a buck or two via Amazon
2. Possibly, but wouldn't advise. Motion vibration or jostling the system could flex the board and damage it.
