What if I don't screw all standoffs? (gigabyte p67a-d3-b3)

[thebouncer6]

I have 7 standoffs (relative to the 7 holes that the motherboard has) installed in the motherboard, but I only have 6 screws. Am I supposed to wait until I have 7 screws for the 7 standoffs or will I be fine with 6 screws?

Its not really a big deal, just make sure you screw down the sides will be getting most activity like the PCI openings on case, middle of board, and memory slots, since once and a while you be pulling those out (you don't wanna pull the motherboard up when pulling those out). So I guess don't use the bottom middle or bottom corner screw (just go to your local computer store and get some more screws)... At least that's what I've done in the past.

I see. I guess excessive standoffs aren't much of a problem? Even if one standoff isn't being used?
