Lian Li o11 air mini - Do I need to remove the preinstalled standoff bolts if I use a smaller motherboard?

Top 6 standoffs will be used by MATX. Bottom 3 wont. I'd remove them just to not have metal sticking out. 

 

You'd want to put the removed standoffs in the MATX holes(labeled 7m). They still use 8 standoffs.

Hi,

 

Do I need to remove the preinstalled standoff bolts?

I'm going to install a Micro-ATX in my Lian Li o11 Air mini, and I ask myself if it's fine to leave the ones that are for the full ATX which are marked by the number 7 (for 7 slots)

 

The Micro-ATX standoff bolts number is 5 (for 5 slots layout)

 

I tried to move one standoff bolt and it's quite hard to do it, so before I destroy something, I need your professional advice 🙂

 

Hardware:

Case: Lian Li o11 air mini

Motherboard: Asus z690-G Wifi (micro ATX)

 

Thank you!

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

I edited after you quoted me, you only need 8 standoffs.
