8rda+mobo standoff question

[draboo]

installing new mobo . there are supposed to be 9 standoffs(i think thats what they are called.they hold the mobo away from the mobo tray about a half inch. each one has a male end and a female end with threads and screw into the tray and the mobo screws to them.)

anyway...........there are only places for 6 out of nine. i used only 6 with my last board and had no problems,but would it be wise to attempt to put in the last three on the right side? the right side has holes that line up,but are weird looking,kinda like a keyhole in a cheap lock.

i noticed while disassembling that pulling on various connecters on the right side ,i sorta bent the motherboard a bit,not anything serious,when i noticed i was doing it(because there were no screws holding the board to the tray on the right side)i stopped and was extremly careful.

below is a link to a review of the case i m using.

If the board is going to hang over the last line a few inches then it's safest to put a new row in. You should have gotten extra ones with your case and they're the best to use.
