I had no idea what the motherboard standoffs were for and I screwed the motherboard right onto the case and ran it for a bit. I quickly found out that this was a terrible thing and I removed it and put it back on with the standoffs. I also wasn't too good at handling the motherboard. The computer is still running just fine. The motherboard isn't bent or anything, actually, it looks fine. I'm a little scared though. Have I avoided a disaster or could something bad happen down the line? Should I just replace my motherboard or am I good?
