wired MSI OEM Mainboard

[slash_mesh]

Hi there guys,

I have bought a prebuild PC a few years back because I was only 15 and my parents did not allow me build one on my own.

Now I want to transplant the system in a new case for better airflow and amplifies the sound of my grafics crd an cpu.

But is is a wired 24.5 * 22.5 format and does miss some screw hole for the mATX standart.

I marked the in the photo of the green board and the other is a usual MSI gaming line mainboard which does have these screwholes.

I asked myself is it important to have those screws in or if I can just ignore them.

It is very important to have all of the screws in the motherboard correctly, or you could short circuit components like the motherboard, cpu, ram or even gpu.

 

I find it odd that your parents did not let you build your first pc at 15. I built my first at 13.

I was busy sorry. Ok but I like wanted to know it could not just forget about that two screws and put it into an atx case. And I have took a look in the Manual and it says atx 24.5 22.5 cm not matx sry for that.

No, if you put it in an atx case you could break the board and the components that are on the board.

It might be the dumbest question but why. A atx case does not have standoffs on these possitions where the screwholes are missing. the other screws Aline with the atx standard. So far a huge thank you for answering.

If the motherboard is not in the case securely, it can touch the back of the case. This will kill the motherboard.

Sorry I was stupid.

Let me correct myself here.

Are these the corresponding screw possitions?

(I mean the pinkish-purpleish)

But still thank you a lot for helping me with my stupid problems.

No, the ones in the picture are the first 3 (virtically) and the last 3 (vertically).
