| Epoch said: So I got my parts today and have begun putting the stuff together. So far its pretty easy, some of the stuff seems like I had to push harder than I would have expected to get it into place. My question is, how do I attach the motherboard to the case? I only have metal standoffs, is that ok for my motherboard? Some sites say motherboards may use non-conducting standoffs, but I don't have any. There are no instructions in the Mobo manual, so I'm kinda wary of shorting the thing out. Any advice? |
The ones that you are given are fine. Enthusiasts tend to take things to the extreme and often without care to what you actually need. The motherboards are engineered to expect the screws that they give you with the motherboard. I wouldn't use anything but the same. I suspect that if they are insulating then it may allow static to build up on the motherboard.
I hope you're installing the motherboard first before you put any components on the board. Its just easier that way.
Tease.
