[SOLVED] Leaving 1 Standoff

[Ahmed.K]

1 of the standoff for my case won't fit, Is it ok if I leave only 1 of the standoff for my ATX motherboard case

Can you show a photo?
If a standoff doesn't fit (there is no corresponding screw hole in motherboard), then standoff has to be removed or it can cause short.

You'll lose some stability in the motherboard, and there is indeed a chance of shorting some contacts on the back.

I was able to install the other standoffs, but the hole for 1 of the standoff is smaller than it is suppose to be, that's all
And returning the case for 1 standoff might be difficult

8 standoffs are installed, 1 at the middle right is not fitting

Then you have to remove the standoff.

Unless the information about the case states that one standoff won't fit, returning the case is a reasonable and acceptable thing to do.

You could widen that standoff hole in some way, but it's not recommended to do this.

Can you provide photos of the stand off and the hole it is supposed to go into?

Done, It was a cheap case(not too expensive), So I hammered a nail into the standoff hole, and the hole got widened, and the standoff now fits(but a little loose)
