Thread: I damaged my motherboard?

Hello, I am new and wanted to get myself my own PC. After having well documented, and have consulted some video montages and I started but I did not see the need to avoid the motherboard rubs the housing wall, and had to screw on bolts intermediaries. So I did not really pay attention to it. My motherboard does not encasement fine in my case. The tabs on the small map window prevented engage well I had to press it home. I do not think the bolts, and I screwed the motherboard directly to the same wall of the box. It is only later in another video consultant, conducted carefully I realized that it was raise the card by screwing on bolts intermediaries. I could not invent this detail! short: I have busted you think? Or it held up?

Hi, you did not turn on the PC at least? Though not turn if c is good you redemonte motherboard to put the spacers are to isolate the motherboard from the case if thou forget you risk a short circuit which can in the worst case your grill CM.

You force on the CM make false contacts and you can install it properly and see if you want it and if the fractal is a good case.

In short go back and test properly if you do not turn like this is a good chance that nothing ever happened.

Thank you for your answers. I removed the motherboard and I rise on the spacers. Of course I expected to have everything installed in my box before lighting anything. And then it works. it works very well: no regret to be spent on crappy laptop pc configured by yourself!
