Posted 08 June - PM. A close inspection of the MOBO manual should identify the mounting points and more importantly, which ones need to be grounded. My builds use nylon standoffs and screws. A small, flat, braided wire where needed to provide the ground to those specific points. Mount as many standoffs as there are holes in the MOBO that match points in the case.
Larger PCBs will grow and contract with heat so some close tolerance traces on the underside of the board can move some, enough to find a short when things get warmed up. What screws do you use? I tried using all of the screws to test if they fit the standoffs.
Three or more of them fit in fine so I have no clue which ones I should be using. Posted 24 June - PM. Posted 25 June - AM. Here is a picture of standard mainboard mounting screws. In the real world, any screw that fits the standoff threads, and snugs down on the mainboard mount hole will work. It doesn't make any difference, as long as the thread fits and it holds the board solid. These are not electrical connectors, just mechanical mounting hardware.
That's all. There are many electrical connections on a motherboard, behind the board, and in front of the board. There should be a gap between the motherboard and the case and they should not touch each other, as computer cases are made of metal. The standoff is small pieces of metal like screws. However, instead of one head, a standoff becomes a case of traditional standoffs where another screw can be.
The motherboard is then screwed on top of the standoff. Each motherboard screw needs a standoff. Any of your form factors depend on the motherboard e. Just because of the fact that ATX format is so popular there is a limitless combination of features available for these motherboards.
These are manufactured for almost every chipset and possess a vast range from very low budget boards to high-end products with multiple PCI Express slots and a cluster of connections. ATX motherboards are well suited for any build except for those which require a small physical size. Its size is mm x mm 12in x 13in. Because of their huge size, Extended-ATX boards will only fit into cases made specifically for them. One of the biggest advantages of having this card is its extra length that provides more room for additional expansion cards and slots for various other components and parts, but this is the only major difference between ATX and Extended-ATX boards.
Extended-ATX motherboards are mostly used just in selected workstations and some servers. There are several points to be noted from both the picture and the breakdown above.
Secondly, like most of you, I was also curious why there would be two different standards that have the same measurements. They even define the placement of each CPU to standardize the cooling solutions.
The boards do share many of the same standoffs but there are three standoffs in the middle that do not line up. One more thing you must have noticed that I pointed out sizes that are official standards. Just because of this factor, finding cases that will actually fit these boards can be very difficult. Also, ensure that you tighten it just enough. Over-tightening the standoffs can break them or damage the case.
With the standoffs correctly and firmly mounted on the case, the board can now be mounted on top. To do this, simply align the board with the standoffs, place the screws and tighten. Again make sure you do not over tighten the screws on the motherboard.
With the motherboard mounted and elevated on standoffs, it leaves up some space below it where you may be tempted to route your cables. However, the space left underneath should be left empty for avoiding any damage to the motherboard as well as to promote good airflow. Many people believe that motherboards come shipped with standoffs and screws.
This is not the case mostly. The screws and standoffs come with the PC Case. However, in case if you are building an uber-customized PC with DIY case of your own design, then you can purchase them from markets like Amazon or Newegg. They are relatively inexpensive and you can get a pack of for a few dollars. Motherboard Standoffs are often made from Brass , an alloy of Copper and Zinc.
Brass, while a metal, has less conductivity compared to the pure copper or steel and hence can be good at isolating circuits. However, there are many different sizes of standoffs available out there too for difference applications.
