I'm trying to install http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128590&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=.
But as you can see, the motherboard only has 7 screw holes. The "standard ATX" is set to have 9 screw holes, but I removed a pre-installed stand off from the case already because it didn't coincide with a screw hole on my motherboard. Now, my issue is with a built in standoff that the Corsair 500r case comes with. It includes the top 3 standoffs built into the case, so I can't remove the one that doesn't coincide with a screw hole on my motherboard. These are the standoffs I'm referring to...
And this is the side of the mobo that is one screw hole short of the 3 standoffs that are built into the case....
Therefore, am I correct in assuming that it could short my motherboard if I leave it be? I'm thinking of using electrical tape to cover up the built in standoff. Would that be the best way to handle this problem?
Really appreciate any help, as I'm trying to build this right now.
