Case Standoffs and Motherboard Holes

useless2112 · Dec 5, 2017

Hi all! I have bought the Asus Prime B350-Plus. I have the Phanteks P400 and it comes with what I would assume is the normal stand off layout (ATX or 9 standoffs.). However, my motherboard only has 6 holes. It is missing where I would expect 3 more to go on the right side of the board. Will this be a problem? Will I have to buy a new motherboard?

Thanks! All help appreciated!

This is not an issue. The holes will still align, you just have a smaller variant of the ATX standard layout. This is very common and the design is meant to accommodate these differences.

At worst, you might have to move one of the stand-offs to align with your particular motherboard. Pre-drilled holes should already be in the case it self.

it´s just desinged to only use 6 standoffs, even it is a ATX board:

just don´t use the 3 standoffs on the side
also have a look at page 9
