So I'm trying to install my Crosshair VI in my H440 but I can't get it to line up with the standoffs underneath.  Any ideas?

Case: NZXT H440 Hyper Beast.  CPU: AMD R9 3900x (cooled by a Kraken X62).  GPU: AMD XFX RX 6900XT Merc 319 Black.  RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 32GB ram @3600mhz.  Mobo: Asus Crosshair VI hero. PSU: Corsair RM850x.  Boot drive: Samsung 960 evo 500gb nvme ssd.  Game storage: Samsung 860 evo 1TB SATA SSD.  Bulk storage: WD Black 2TB.

Yes, I am using the IO shield as a reference point, and yeah there was a mounting post in the middle but it wouldnt line up with that either.

I just discovered ASrock uses an additional stand off on the left side. I was looking at  my X370 taichi in my H440 and comparing it to your board (didn't notice when installing it since my old board was the same). The rest of the atx holes have equal spacing...

just something I discovered, besides that they look the same. Got any other motherboards to test fit?

No, unfortunately.
