Hi!

I just ordered all my parts for a new build and I've noticed that the center motherboard screw hole isn't really accesable on that mobo.
Not from the front atleast.
That wouldn't be a problem if the case I chose, which is the Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic would have a centering pin instead of a regular threaded standoff.
I've never encountered such a silly problem before, so i figured that's it's best to ask.

What would be the ultimate solution for that problem?

Should I remove the standoff and screw it in just with 8 screws using 8 standoffs?
Should I keep that standoff as it is and just lay my mobo on it and screw in the other 8?

I was trying to find a 3rd party centering pin standoff look-alike that I could replace that original standoff with but I could find any here in my local shops. (Europe)

I dont wanna cause a short becuse of that one particalurar standoff.
The mobo it self seems to be kinda steady and has both Rog Armor and a massive backplate so I guess bending will not be an issue.

Afterall it would be great to get a answer/best solution from someone just to calm my mind, that have a tendence to overthink.. =)

Best Wishes!
