Hi, everyone.
Can anyone who has dealt with corsair 500r cases confirm for me that all 9 motherboard standoffs come pre-installed in the case? To my observation, it seems as though they do: the top 3 are not standoff screws, however they are elevated mounting points and the remaining 6 standoffs are screws. Also, in the middle row of 3 standoff screws, the middle screw seems taller than the other two, but the last 3 standoffs in the most bottom row all seem to be the same size. Is this the way Corsair meant for their case to be configured? The case comes with 4 standoff screws in a baggy, but if you guys can confirm for me that the 9 I've just mentioned are in fact pre-installed standoffs, I don't think I'll need the extra 4.

Thanks in advance!
 
So I ended up forcing the motherboard into place, without adding any of the extra standoff screws. It seems that the Corsair 500r case comes with all 9 standoffs pre-installed. I determined that the real issue was the Asus z97-A I/O shield which prevented the motherboard from clicking into place - it's just a really cheap and poor quality I/O shield. Hope Asus upgrades the I/O shield for this board, it was seriously such a hassle to get the mobo into place.
