Mounted Motherboard without standoffs. Did I short it out?

[Brayden Moore]

This is my first build so I made a noob mistake and I installed my motherboard without standoffs (I, myself, was grounded at the time if that makes any difference). Then I read more into mobo installation and I realized that I needed to use standoffs, so I unscrewed the motherboard, screwed in the standoffs and remounted the motherboard. Will it be ok to use? Or did forgetting the standoffs the first time ruin the mobo?

Soon find out turn it on when you've connected everything

If you never applied power to it, shouldnt be a problem.

Ok, I never applied power so that's good. It also seemed like the motherboard was slightly warping when I first installed it (without the standoffs). Would that damage it, too?

Should be fine from the sounds of it, hook it all up and fire it up 😉
