Dumb question but...

I didn't screw in the two last spots on the top of my motherboard.   When the case is standing up normally the motherboard leans slightly outwards. I got a tower cooler.

 

I wonder if this will somehow break my board, as it's not too much and I rarely move it around the house as well...  :huh:

In day to day use it probably doesnt matter, but its certainly a risk when moving the pc. Why cant you screw in the last 2 screws? Are they blocked by the cooler?

I would fix that immediately, regardless of moving the rig or not it will in time be broken by that. The motherboard isn't meant to be under structural strain, especially if parts of it are supposed to warm up and cool down.

Please attach your motherboard correctly to your case before switching your computer on.

potential issue.... someone bangs your computer or even you moving around it whilst the power is on, motherboards moves/shakes and shorts out killing mobo, gpu and cpu.

 

Unlikely but possible, sort it dude

So to take it all out and screw it in? Also I don't think it will make board to metal contact as the case have standoffs. But yeah I did think that it would not be good. I will take it apart and screwing it in correctly before i put in the graphics card

 

 

Thanks guys!

 

who said im a "dude"

I screwed it in correctly! It finally feels solid!

 

By the way it's my first build ever so...this forum and Linus' videos have helped me a lot. Either way...

 

 

 

Case closed!
