Standoffs.

Hey guys.

Ive ordered a new motherboard as I suspect 2 of my blue dual channel slots are faulty and not detecting my RAM.

This is the mobo

Asus M4A78LT-M

But anyway, everything works fine apart from those 2 slots. One thing ive noticed though, that the Standoffs that come with the Coolermaster 912 Plus case dont go in fully as they should, they go about half way. What can I do about this ?

At the moment its fine, but when I get the new motherboard I want to make sure the standoffs are in properly.

I've just built a machine for my dad in a coolermaster 912 Plus and the stand-offs went in just fine.

Did you use the little hex socket that was supplied with it?

Hex socket ? :confused:

Above: Im not sure, but the thread seemed to be fine.

Hey there.

I haven't tried anything yet. I've looked inside the case and the motherboard is not touching back of the case or anything, so I think a short is not going to happen, since my GFX and CPU are working fine. I will leave this till monday.

Just incase ive done it incorrectly and this might have caused my 2 blue ram slots not to work, I will make sure on Monday when my new motherboard arrives that everything is in fine so I dont experience this again.

Thanks for the help mate

If you try your old motherboard first, once you've sorted out the standoffs, you may not need the new one and you could send it back under DSR.

Nah, I could have done with an upgrade anyway. Dont think it will be needed. Will try to sell this one on the Bay and see if anyone is interested.
