Case missing mounting hole

[SammyGoad]

Just finished, putting together my first "from scratch" pc and I had one of the mounts on the mobo go unused. I got 8 out of 9 (last one about sata ports at the bottom right of the board, WILL MY MOTHERBOARD SAG AND EXPLODE FROM THE TREMENDOUS PRESSURE, PLEASE HELP?!?!

Which one?

the center one isn't needed.

 

realistically, you could get by with only putting in 3 or 4 screws, and I actually was disassembling my PC once, forgot to put in the screws completely , and ran my system like that for about a week until I noticed.

 

you'll be fine.

Could you post a picture. You should be fine though depending on where it is.

its like near the bottom which has one on the left middle and then none on the right(I guess there isnt much weight there)

As long as the board is secured in place you don't need to have all the screws put in.

Realistically only one screw is necessary to hold it in place, but I wouldn't recommend that

Realistically, if you plug enough stuff in your IO that should hold your motherboard in place with 0 screws

That's not a screw hole.

DO NOT put a screw in there or you will kill the motherboard.

Screw holes are bigger and have a big space around them, as well as the shiny silver solder dots all the way around.

Yeah, I didnt really care about hdd light and power light; I like a quiet pc and a dark pc since I leave it on at night!
