My Asus Tuf Gaming X570 Pro WiFi motherboard is missing the middle mounting hole on the motherboard. The one directly below the CPU socket. The metal star/circle is there, but it still has solid board where the hole should be. The case standoff is still there, should the install be fine without this middle screw?  Has anyone seen this before?

That's fucked I've never seen that. I would RMA but it would probs be fine bc it seems like there would be no traces going through there and the standoff does not go above the height of the board. It should be fine.

Thats the middle standoff with no screw thread. This is normal in mordern cases and makes it easier to fit the motherboard inside the case.

I lightly tried to push it out with the screwdriver. I didn't want to push too hard and have the screwdriver skate across the MB.

Well, if they only updated the manual, instead of showing 9 mounting screws, all would have been fine.

 

 

Will the board be slower now? lol
