mm looks like a spacer.....plastic so it not being there isnt gonna stop it running...my one concern would be if it has fallen out of its hole then the thing it was spacing from the psu chassis....may no longer be...erm spaced... risk of shorts and such....but I can't imagine it would be a big risk....
Right thanks very much, I am now going to fit the stand offs. However I am a bit unsure what the difference things are used for below. I believe the top one is to be installed near the CPU socket, is this correct? The middle is the one I think I have to use for the mobo. But what is the bottom one?
The top one is the actual spinner to tighten the standoffs, use a screw driver in the end of it.
You have two of the bottom ones? the lip is for securing the movement of the PCB, it will fit neatly into the pcb hole, just place them across the middle either top to bottom across the center.
A..B..C
D..E..F
G..H..I
Is usually how the standoffs are aranged, so you can use the standoffs with the lip in say B/H or D/F
Thanks for the response, yes there are two of them. The case does not even say that! So if I use 6 of the middle ones and two of the bottom ones in either of the configurations that you said, that will be fine?
Also on start up only one bit of ram, no gfx card and only ssd....save what you can should the worst happen i say, wont hurt it as you can add it all after uv turned it off after first startup...

I put one on the over side just to take the wobble away and to pull the drive fascia more square in the slot so there is a equal gap around it, I was a bit anal maybe
Guys, I am almost at the part of assembling the CPU and heatsink. I know I already asked about applying the coolermaster thermal paste, supplied with the Hyper 212. But I have just found this article that recommends using a vertical line of paste as oppose to a pea sized amount. What do you guys think is best?
