Mobo small for case?

[fxcktheatf]

I currently am building my third or fourth PC , this time being for my wife who occasionally games.

 

Long story short, I bought a pretty generic corsair case and a ASRock AMD mobo (AM4 Socket) B550. The problem I have and not even sure if it's an issue is that there are extra mounts for what seems like a bigger mobo type. Do I need a different case or is this even an issue at all?

 

Hopefully the picture adds some clarity for my poor explanation. Any help appreciated, thanks!

Larger chassis types typically support various motherboard sizes. While I wouldn't necessarily consider it an issue, if you get a chassis that's way oversized for a motherboard, then it's probably a waste of money. Depends though.

 

In this case, I would say it's fine. But you do have a bit of room for expansion in the future.

Looks like you could use some motherboard for your chassis.

Why is that? And please, no "because manual says so" answers.

 

Well, "becasue the manual says so", and it does

 

Your CPU has 2 memory channels. If you populate both you get twice the memory bandwidth.
