B450 pro4 standoffs

   Hello, I noticed something rather odd about my b450 pro4. It only has 7 standoff mounts(one of which is an MATX one) as, compared to the usual 9. Should i install the mATX one or is it not meant to be installed?

	As a general rule you should only use those standoffs that match both you mobo and your case. Some cases have some standoffs already mounted, so be careful. Some mobos don't completely adhere to a given form factor, resulting in a few missing standoff places. Nothing to worry about. Just be careful about the pressure you put on the mobo when installing stuff on it. If the PCB bends it's not a good thing.
