[JasonNs_]

Stupid me just realised that i forgot to screw motherboard standoffs, and the pc is working fine, [its been 2 months since i got the new motherboard], so should i put them ? or no need ?

So, is the motherboard being held in by ZERO screws?

i said standoffs, not normal screws.

Unless there is a standoff which is a pin that keeps your motherboard vertically standoffs does not keep the board in place. Screws are.

So if you didn't screw the board on the standoff it means you have a middle standoff that act as a pin to keep that board in place.

I would screw your motherboard before that case move or you bump it and the board just fall in the case.

Well, the standoffs are what the motherboards need to be secured. No standoffs = no screws = no motherboard stability.

How many screws are in the motherboard to keep it secured to the case?

Motherboard standoffs provide an electrically-safe spacer between the motherboard and the case. This is important, as case paneling is often made of steel and would cause a direct short (short circuit) if the motherboard were to make contact with the case.

Apologize everyone, i realised my case have them after i took off the motherboard.

So you screwed your board to the standoffs and everything is fine? Good then.
