Do I need to screw all of the mounting holes?

I have a spare PC and I only screwed the 4 outer side mounting holes but there are 2 mounting holes around the CPU/PCI-e sockets that aren't screwed. Is it necessary?

I'm guessing you mean the screws for holding the motherboard in? It's not required, but you should do so anyway just to have all of the screws in...and it makes the motherboard flex less.

On one of my PC's I only had one screw and 2 stands holding the motherboard in, you dont need all of them but it makes it harder to plug things into the board as it flexes. I reccommend just using as many as makes the board stable, or if its a long time build do all of them
