Ive been using my computer for a month without using standoffs and i recently discovered the dangers when not using standoffs. But im wondering why my motherboard hasnt fried. Does my case need standoffs? Because it has a black plate thingy that separates the motherboard from the case

Solution
The reason your board has not fried is because it is off the case just a little but by something that does not conduct electricity. But yes, I would get standoffs just to make sure you do not fry. Just cover all the screw holes on your board. Thus is just to be safe.
