P182 remove motherboard mounts

[spluff]

is this possible and how (i mean the ones already preinstalled in the case)

 

[Teaf]

The standoffs are fixed into the case and aren't removeable from what I'm aware of... why would you want to remove them? Just curious.

 

[spluff]

wont they short something if they dont line up (not sure if they do or not)

I think the holes are arranged in a standard pattern/spacing that all mobo manufacturers use.

dreading installing that hugggggggggggge heatsink on - thinking maybe it would have been safer to get arctic 7 :/

Same as, especially since my last build was 2003!

Looking at the P182 last night, I'm not even sure which screws are for the motherboard. Does anyone know are they the big long ones or the short ones?

Thanks.

the acf7 isn't much better than stock, the big heatsinks fit fine, just make sure you pad the backplate (if it has one) or it can short out the mobo

i used the supplied washers for the actua - hopefully no shorting

I used the short ones...... for the mainboard HTH
