Posted September 8, 2019 Hi! Recently, I bought a used PC that had a good case (I wouldn’t call it that good or that old). However, when I was inspecting it, I came across these mountings things. Is it safe to just screw in my motherboard in it or do I have to drill it out to install the motherboard stands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 8, 2019 Are those little nipple stand-offs threaded? See if you can screw a motherboard screw into one.

Posted September 8, 2019 The screw becomes crooked? As in those built-in stand-offs are threaded but the wrong pitch?

Posted September 8, 2019 Author Nvm. They do screw in, but the top right one doesn’t wanna screw in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 8, 2019 Those are built in standoffs and will fit a small (rectangular, not the standard square) mATX board. I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So will I have to add stand-offs or is it okay for me to just screw in my motherboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
