Is it bad to have 2 crooked screws on motherboard standoffs ?

matpc · 2024-12-01T00:52:21+0000

Hello

As the title says , i just can´t align 2 screws properly ( motherboard / case )

The rest seems aligned 100%

Here is a picture

Do i run the risk of getting problems or is it alright ?

The standoffs are in the correct position but the screw doesn´t seem to align 100%

Thanks

Shouldn't be a problem, these screw pads are essentially dead space so you can't damage anything important by having them a bit misplaced. If your mobo doesn't wiggle around and sits tight and these two screws are rather loose than tight then you'll be fine. But will be better if you fix it. This will make your PC less likely to get rekt during transportation.

During normal use? I doubt it matters.

Yeah, fix them

You probably are using the wrong screws for the stand offs as well

Problem is you can short the motherboard out

Is there motherboard traces / important components in the holes ?

the motherboard seems well secured

thanks

Its a grounding plane to reduce effects of emi whether internally or externally.

Take your motherboard out and check proper alignment of stand offs, try again

If the same issue your case isn't built to 100% precision, just leave it alone after you tighten everything down

What screws does the case manual specify? Read that

Find your paper manual and check, find the answer

i´ve been trying to align the upper two and no luck

the central standoffs and the 3 below enters fine

the 2 uppers always give me trouble

i´ve tested the screw directly on the case and it is fine ( could not find the paper manual )

i just can´t seem to align the remaining upper 2 100%
