Please Help!

Hey guys

Building my PC, just one question:

On my case, there is a code as to where to attach the motherboard stand-offs, and that's where I inserted all my stand-offs.

The case has 6 specified locations, and when you attatch the mobo correspondingly, there is one hole left that looks like all the others.

Should I screw in this 7th hole?

Motherboard and case models please?

it will not harm the motherboard to not have the 7th screw in. However, if there is a location in the case that matches the whole, then you need to use it.

I may be wrong, but arent you supposed to put in 9 screws?

I only put in as many as I need. That way you won't get a short.

My case supports XL-ATX and other board types, and it did not specify to place an ATX screw in that 7th hole

If you have a hole in the motherboard, and a hole in the case to fit it, then install it. Simple, and strait forward. 7 screws in an ATX motherboard.
