[SOLVED] Is this amount of contact okay?

[Computanoob]

Seems like this case was obviously designed for atx, but the motherboard has a little ledge it rests on and the psu goes directly under it. There is a mm about of space between the edge of the mobo and the psu shell, but the ledge probably conducts the edge of mobo to psu. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do ? The psu is obviously supposed to be whereit is because the case hasscrew holes coming through the back. I was thinking maybe I can put a thin insulator in between them like electrical tape or something else to be safe? Thanks for any opinions

I would definitely try sticking some electrical tape under it. I don't think you're in any danger with them touching slightly (the important mobo contacts are all on the bottom and not the sides) but it's always better to play it safe when you can!

Circuit board designers never route circuits - especially energized circuits - close to the edge of a circuit board for that and other reasons. There's very little reason to worry beyond aesthetic ones as installing or removing PSU or motherboard could scratch the finish.

That ledge is being used for it's exact purpose - and there shouldn't be any traces remotely close to the edge of the PCB.

It's fine.

actually though for whatever reason one corner of the board actually does touch the PSU case on the edge. I wedged some paper in between, but IDK.

Unnecessary...but won't hurt.
