Where can I buy replacement motherboard standoffs for my Cooler Master H500 case. It was my first time and on a few standoffs I got really close to ruining them but I want to just replace them with new ones. I directly used a screwdriver to tighten them then the tool that I didn't see. (I was an idiot and knew I was doing something wrong but I couldn't find a better way to tighten it, I just tried to be as careful as possible to not ruin the screwholes but to still tighten it , it works for now but I want to replace)

Not sure it's something you can really over tighten?

Probably just contact coolermaster maybe

 

Otherwise just check ebay, or a local PC shop probably has a bucket full

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

It doesn't sound like you stripped anything so you should be fine. As @Streetguru said a local PC shop or Cooler Master can help you out, there's no need to buy them.

No like I literally used the screwdriver to tighten it so it widened and grinded the screwholes lolol but the screws still go in and it tightens and has been secure for a month but it still worries me

Well just leave it? Because new stand offs wouldn't fit a striped case anyways.

No no.. I put a screwdriver in the standoff to turn it , so it kind of grinded it down that's all I'm saying lol

So like you messed up the threads instead of a stand off?

As long as the motherboard screw still goes in I wouldn't worry about it, and you don't need every motherboard screw put in anyways.
