installing motherboard

harber · 20 Jun 2013 at 13:50

started building my computer this morning and seeing as i havent built one in almost 7 years im taking my time. ive come to installing the motherboard onto the standoffs in the case and cant quite get my hand into the far left corner. the other 8 are screwed in and secure its just the one next to the noctua cooler (which is a beast). will i have any problems leaving it unscrewed?

thanks

No problems at all leaving that one out.

I had the same problem when installing into a Corsair 300R case. After many attmpts I just managed to get them all aligned with the holes by giving it a forceful push on the left while I screwed the holes diagonally down the board. (e.g top left, middle middle, bottom right) etc

I user a pair of pliers to get mine in.

but i agree they are a bloody nightmare.
