Motherboard does not fit in case standoffs

[onlyonetitan]

Hello, I am building a computer, and I have came across a problem where my motherboard has 7 mounting points, where my case has 9 standoffs. All but one standoff on the case is removable, which is towards the back of the case. Is it safe to use those mounting points? or is it better to just get a new case all together?

The motherboard I got is the Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3 motherboard (http://www.gigabyte.us/Motherboard/GA-AB350-Gaming-3-rev-10#kf)

The case I got is the Corsair Carbide 200r Compact ATX Case (https://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-Carbide-200R-Compact-CC-9011023-WW/dp/B009GXZ8MM)

This is the layout of both the case and the motherboard

I would just remove the standoffs from the case that do not correspond to the mounting points on your board.

Cases are designed to accommodate multiple form factors, so the standoffs can be positioned as needed. Quite often the actual mounting tray will have the hole patterns labeled as well.

Confirming HamBown81's answer. Just remove the standoffs that your mainboard doesn't have holes for, otherwise you could short the mainboard.
