Hello, I was wondering if anyone here has any experince or know if the stand-off screw for my motherboard is removable. I have tried just screwing without success but in fear of breaking it I have not used to much force, I have also searched here and on google but not found anyone suceeding or getting a concrete answer.

 

My motherboard is a Gigabyte B550 Aours Pro Ax. I have included a picture of the same type of stand off as my board uses.

 

 

Any help is appreciated

Why?

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

That looks like it's meant to hold the cover/heat spreader on.

If that's the case, use one of the spares that came with the motherboard.

 

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.

Yeah thats pretty much what it does.

 

Do you know if it's supposed to just screw out? It was pretty tight when I tried to remove it.

What's on the back of that motherboard where the standoff is? Is there a screw?

The MB is in the pc at the moment so will have to take it out and look. But from what I remember when putting it all together there was not a screw on the back, however my memory might be wrong.

I would like to replace it as I messed up the threads when installing the ssd.

From the photo, the thread doesn't look that "fucked"; find the longest screw that you KNOW is supposed to fit, take it to a local wholesale "fixings" supplier (with a trade counter), explain the problem (excluding the need to explain it's a motherboard, these people don't care, it's just a damaged "female thread" to them) and they will sell you a "facing tap" to fix the issue (and tap wrench if you need), apply as they direct, then sleep easy knowing it's fixed and you made a good trade contact...

The photo is not from my motherboard as it is installed in my computer at the moment. But the stand off is the exact same as the one in the picture. Buying a tap and tapping new treads seems much more work than just replacing it (if it's replaceable, but that I dont know 😕)

Can you show the whole motherboard picture, doesn't matter if it is installed

The motherboard is a B550 Aorus pro ax. ( https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B550I-AORUS-PRO-AX-rev-10#kf )

 

Not my picture but this is how it looks. And the stand off is the one next to the ssd heatsink in this picture.
