Posted December 8, 2018 I'm ordering a mini itx case (InWin A1) and I've been trying to look at build guides but there is none, i'm wondering if I need to apply any standoffs to the case before I can put my motherboard on to it. My Build- AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor Asus - ROG STRIX X470-I GAMING Mini ITX AM4 Motherboard Team - T-Force Dark 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory Western Digital - Green 240 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive Asus - GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 3 GB Dual Video Card Inwin - A1 (Black) Mini ITX Tower Case w/600 W Power Supply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 8, 2018 when it arives they are either going to already be there installed or they will come with the case for you to screw them in. a quick look at the motherboard area of your new case when you get it should tell you which one it is. I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays... nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

(Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0) Spoiler "Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. #1. Treat others as you would like to be treated. #2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt. #3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place. Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier.

Posted December 8, 2018 From quick google-ing it look like they are pre-installed, but you will see when it arrives. If they are not installed, they will be included, so don't worry about it.

You only use standoffs that line up with mounting holes in the motherboard. If there's a screw hole with no stand off, add a stand off. If it looks like a stand off will touch the bottom of the motherboard, remove the stand off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherboard stand-offs looks like this...usually in brass color or black. The screws in that bag are for installing M.2 SSD onto the motherboard.
