Do i need more standoffs?

[MLG Doge]

So, my Bitfenix comrade just came in the post and i looked in the "goody bag" and saw only three standoffs and no pre-installed  ones.

 

So do i need to buy some more? If so, from where? 

 

Will my mobo (H97-Guard-Pro or B85-G41) come with more in the box?

 

Or can i just use three standoffs and be over with it?

nope you should use more than 3x standoffs maybe email MSI about the problem

Are the standoffs not already installed, ideally you want one in each corner and one in the middle at least

So can i buy some from, say, amazon and will they be compatible with the board?

They just made a mistake if they only have 3 contact them about it and they should send you a bag of them, and the motherboard will not come with any unfortunately. I would not install a system on 3 standoff's since you don't have a solid surface and the board will flex when installing or removing GPU's, or if you have a large after market cooler.

I'm pretty sure that the case is supposed to only come with three (according to another review on here).

Then contact bitfenix about it, if it is only supposed to come with three well damn, I wouldn't risk it

This is a picture of the inside I found on Bitfenix' website.

Those bulges are standoffs. My case uses the same way.

The 3 standoffs are for mATX motherboards and don't come preinstalled, because they would scratch ATX boards.
