Wrong mobo screws (one more question)

So I was speaking with one of the mods yesterday and he mentioned since I got some.screws stuck in the mobo standoffs while mounting them motherboard ide have to do.some.risky shit to get them off... Now one of the right ones was accidentally installed and the rest provide some degree of structural integrity..  I was considering just leaving the wrong ones in as I don't think the motherboard is lose in anyway ! 

 

Is this dumb ? 

 

Let me know :)

If it won't come out without the standoff rotating too, it's clearly not goint to fall out and cause issues on it's own. So you might as well leave it. The screws and stand offs also ground the motherboard and sometimes stuff like this can cause issues with random crazy stuff like interference in the audio or latency in external devices like mice/keyboards. But usually not. The main problem I see is that you forget that it's there and brick the board when you one day remove it from the case.
