NR600 Help!

I bought a cooler master nr600 recently and I wanna do a build in it. I installed the front fans behind the front panel (as shown in the picture) instead of front, I noticed in some guides people are installing them in front of the front plate (other picture with black fans) does this matter in any way? Btw the 3 fans are intake. 

2nd question I have a micro atx board and there are only 6 pre mounted holes for matx and the rest ( two holes left) there's nothing and there isn't any mounting holes with the case(didn't come included either in a bag!) , I tried removing the atx ones at the bottom I can't seem to be able to do that... IMG_20200428_142443.thumb.jpg.bd77b1a483807c0f5212850c347d20f1.jpgScreenshot_20200428_143053.jpg.3dd736f2031951a07f85f7d890c0eb36.jpg

One could argue with the fans being closer to the front, it may draw in more air.

I would argue that would be such a minimal difference, that is does not matter.

 

It would only matter if the 2.5cm of space the fans now take up in  the case would make it so your videocard does not fit. If that is not the case, just leave it as is.

Grab a hex driver or plyers and remove the standoffs from the case and install them in the appropriate location for the mATX board.

In cases with separate dust filter, fans must go inside as the dust filter is where the fans would be when mounted outside. This does not apply to NR600 as it uses the front panel itself as dust filter so you could in theory mount fans in either position or even both. Also a trick to make really thick radiators or push pull setups fit.

I watched the cooler master promotional video for the case:

 

 

 

And indeed they put the fans on the outside of the case.   However I am in agreement with the others that inside/outside is up to you as either way the airflow should be virtually the same.

Thanks guys, I decided to just put them on the outside how ever the bottom one is kinda impossible to put outside cause the clearing to put a screw driver on the inside is way too small for any sort of screw driver I have so I just left it on the inside. Looks kinda bad asthethcially speaking but I really don't care.

Not sure I have a hex driver around or a plyer... How bad would it be if I install the mobo with only 6 screws?
