How do I install motherboard/standoffs?

Jasumi · 05-15-2008, 05:17 PM

I think my motherboard needs ten. But is there a special way to configure them? Do I just simply line the standoffs with the board? Do I need all ten or just six?

Line the board up with the standoffs. Your case should have more than enough to cover the board.

And yes, you need 10.

yeah, just look at the MOBO and line them up with where the screw holes are in the mobo tray in the case.

My case has only 8. Where can I buy more of them for cheap?
