Safe To Mount Motherboard To Case With Only 5/6 Screws?

  • 0

Hey, my computer case came with 5 mounting screws standard, but my motherboard has 6 spots to screw in, is it safe to only screw in the 5? it is the 6/22 inch ones, not the common 2.5 ones. Case is the Azza Solano 1000

      Only ONE of the screws is used for grounding purposes. You definitely need that one installed to a standoff. I assume your case requires metal standoffs?

      Look for a circle of solder around the mounting hole. If you don’t have enough screws, at least make sure you install standoffs under every mounting hole. Leave the missing screw out of one of the middle holes and you should be OK.
