Mounting AB350 Pro 4 into NZXT H500

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi there!
I'm mounting the motherboard into the NZXT H500 case and noticed it's not the full atx size (falls short of last row of pegs)

The centre standoff sits snugly in a screw hole and the other 6 screws fit fine no issue, but I was reading somewhere that you can short the mobo if you dont mount properly and this is my first build in well over 5 years so I'm a little rusty! 

Anyway see the pics below

	Furthermore, would just like to add when screwed in only 5 screws fit around the mobo as the 6th is just for a micro atx in this case, however when stood up the mobo feels solid. Should I remove the other standoffs that arent being used or should i leave them there? Edited by zakman - 25 Aug 2018 at 9:15pm

	That's what I'd do - get rid of all standoffs on the NZXT; mount the mobo with all possible screws; put plastic standoffs where NZXT has holes but mobo doesn't; enjoy
