Do I need washers?

[intelconvert6079]

Right now, I have only my brass standoffs and screws. Should I add the washers on before I power up?

WTF are you talking about?

 

[intelconvert6079]

A case comes with brass standoffs, screws, and washers for mounting your mobo. I was wondering if I should use the washers too.

Ahhh.....

Wouldn't hurt.
Never worried mutch about them on my system, though.

If it comes with them, use them.
Just make shure they arn't oversized + touching anything they shoulden't.

Don't use them; they are not needed and may even cause a ground fault if they touch anything pass the solder around the hole.

The only washers I would use would be either a felt or plastic type. Those types can inhibit noise or vibration without the possibility of causing any shorts.
