How to install a motherboard into a case 

oh my god....i was THIS close to order a micro atx case for my atx motherboard, i didnt know what it meant so i thought it was a trademark, thank you VERY much for pointing this out

Simple, thorough, and quick. Thanks for posting this. Helps out for me being an A+ exam student and despite having built a computer a long time ago, I needed a refresher.

Dude I love your stuff so much. Thank you for this

Thank you! Simple but really easy to follow man

That is the way things should be told. Short, clear and visualized. Perfect.

Thank you very much for a great and simple tutorial

do you have to screw them in before you put your motherboard because I have 3 different screws two of them seem to fit but i don’t know which to use and there’s one that only has 4 when I need 9

the way you explained the sizes of the motherboards is a life saver😂😮‍💨

You sir are a brilliant man helped a noob install mobo

love how you explain things its really help

I used to build XT motherboards ... standardization is a bless!!!! I love the AT standard!

I like your voice and i love your videos is very easy to understand from them.

LIFE SAVER THANK YOU. I WAS WONDERING WHY IT WASNT LINING UP

Great video, short and simple

1:25 So that's what that little bastard is for. Thanks. I think I actually used a wrench last time around I build a PC ~10 years ago. This screw made it a lot easier to mount the standoffs.

cheers mate, very helpful

You sir a a computing genius.

hey, does it matter if I use standoffs that are scratched? I did it with a plier then once I was getting really really frustrated at myself (because using the plier is really annoying), I found that standoff adapter that came with the case 🙃 let's just say I'm really really happy :)))) So is it fine to still use these standoffs or do I have to get a new case or standoffs? I'm really sad I was looking right at it but it didn't look like the adapter. I looked at it so many times and after I was losing my cool I realised it was it :/ not my happiest moment

Very informative, thank you.

Eazy & str8 to da point, thanks.

Does anybody know if it matters what type of screw that you use? I have the correct sizes for my case but it’s a zinc philips head screw and I know it has to be a metal conductor. Unfortunately my PC came with no screws as it was after market

Perfect Job!! Thanks

A lot of help, thank you

i got some washers included with my m.b. do i use them or do they go on other screws ?

All my parts came in today and i'm working on my case now, the case only came with 6 screws in total and only 2 of them fit into the motherboard. Do i need to buy the others, or am I setting it up wrong?

I’m doing something different. I’m using an old box tv to make a gaming PC. What should I watch out for?

I didnt knew what the stadoffs were for and they were only 4 anyway, i removed them first then put my motherboard a month has passed nothing has fallen down, thoughts on if i should do something or this is alright. PLS REPLY

Do i have to remove standoffs I dont need on the case?

I cannot seem to put the standoffs in

so i have a mid atx case and im using a atx mobo and it seems like i dont have room for fans at the top

Hello i have a doubt, Mine is an ATX X570 mobo, it has 9 mounting point into three columns, now my dealer has used only the 1 and 2 column mounts which has the cpu, cooler and the GPU (total 6 mounts), now he has left the last column which has the three mounts as not used, is that a problem?, thing is in that area only motherboard 24 pin connector resides. will i get grounding problems?

So is it okay if my motherboard touches the standoffs when im trying to place it in my case?

First time I build a PC was back in the 80ties, last time 2022. I watched this video to be sure I had not forgotten how it was done.

Can i use any mATX case on MSI 520 mATX motherboard?

@robtech can I just remove the standoffs from atx and out it in the matx layout instead of buying new ones

Does every motherboard come with the correct slots for cables from the power supply?

Ugh. I was hoping you'd go into where the case wires go. I have wires in my case that don't go to the PSU and I'm pretty sure one of them controls the power switch. I've figured out the USB and audio ones (clearly labelled) and one is USB 3 which my old motherboard doesn't support. But I have a bunch if smaller one and two hole ones... Oh well. At least I learned about standoff adapters. Some of my standoffs are further back and the screws won't reach, so this video did teach me something useful.

im currently having issues with this. Because of the standoff screws my motherboard wont line up with my io shield now. I don't want to remove my io shield but i dont want to have my motherboard screwed directly into the case either. What can i do to fix this issue??

sir i have screws but it doesn't have rubber. is it ok? if i use it for my motherboard? does it make grounded or short circuit? because i saw someone using a rubber before applying the screws in their mobo stand offs? sorry im a newbie in pc building. ty for the infos!

Hi! I'm buying a new motherboard and I don't have any standoffs anywhere, my case has his actual motherboard (which is the one I'm gonna replace) placed in right now with his standoffs, will I be able to use the same ones? They are both m atx

It’s fine if I don’t screw in one standoff right, I screwed in 8 just fine with pliers but last one just won’t seem to fit and keeps falling down when I try to screw it in with pliers, I’ll keep trying but if it doesn’t matter then I don’t want to waste my time

I wish you showed which screws

wee question, is it normal for my motherboard to be wiggling in my case, for what i can tell, by 1-2 millimetres? ive a wee bit of awareness on it, and dont seem to be having issues. is it also bad that i had to pull my case in a wee bit to screw in my card?

My case didnt come with Standoffs to put on, it looks like they came pre-installed in the case itself, I have raised pegs on it.

Hi my pc case and motherboard doesn’t have any stand-off screws could I just line it up and screw it in ?

Question. Scared to install motherboard. Do the standoffs damage the motherboard while you adjust it or am i overreating? (First pc build im scared lol).

Hmmmm I'm gonna be in for a stressful time. But I'll get it.

Do you need an adapter? Or can I just put the standard case stands on it?

Cheers

does damaging the paint on the standoff mess up anything

What make of tower is that? Thank you.

I need help. If I dont have a standoff at a spot, should i just leave the motherboard hanging without screwing at that spot?

Hey, I have a current Cyberpower PC Desktop, and it has a AMD FX-6300 6 Core, AMD Rx 560, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 1tb HDD, 120gb SSD, and I'm not sure what my PSU is, I tried looking but cant find it, but anyway i was told if i want to upgrade to a significantly better CPU i would have to replace my entire Mobo and get new RAM, but i honestly want to avoid that, even though here i am still watching this video, but before i buy all these new parts and figure out how to piece them together. What i wanted to ask as an addition is that are there any other CPU's i can just simply upgrade to? you know to still get some extra juice without having to go full on with replacing everything? the FX-6300 is decent and all but i want to know if there's something i can still get that gives me considerably more power but still allows me to keep my mobo in and just simply put another DDR3 ram stick in instead of having to buy a whole new mobo, CPU, and 2 new DDR4 Ram sticks..

Hi, are the number of standoffs the same with every mobo sizes?

What if the case nor the motherboard came with the motherboard screws? Where should I get some?

I screwed them in to far and now i have to pull out the thingies in the case that are out now if someone knows a good way to get them out would be nice

what are the motherboard screws called? the ines that u connect the mother board to the case

I bought a pre-build but the motherboard came with it and not in it.

I came here because it's only nearly 3 minutes long😂

I'm taking a dump well watching. 👍

Everyone remembers the ATX, MAtx and ITX. But what about poor E ATX?

i need to remove my motherboard to change pc case but something at 1:49 in your video keep spinning when i try loosen screw?Any tips for me?Pls

why does my motherboard work outside the case but when I put it in the case, there seems to be no power.

I don’t have screws with the motherboard. So where would I find them?

There's also eATX but it's rare and expensive soo

Is this motherboard compatible with a geforce rtx 2070 super 8gb graphics card???

NOICE

So I finished my first build and I've been searching EVERYWHERE for answers as to why I didn't have power to my mobo. Watching this video made me realize I forgot the singular stand off for my case!! Did I just ruin my entire build?!?!?!? Thank you for the detailed video

Is it normal that the motherboard doesn’t lineup with the holes of the front panel? For centering I had to regulate with spacers and rise the back of the mobo from the center of the case

Look I know this is a stupid question,but can you put an ATX motherboard into a Midi case

So the standoffs are in the case already and should just be moved around to fit the board?

My computer came with a micrp atx but on the websote it doesnt specify what type ot supports. I bought an atx befpre watching. If it doesnt say what ot supports should i assume i just bought the wrong size

I put in a new graphics card and blew up my mother bored great help

My motherbpard isnt lining up with the standoffs and idk what to dooo 😩😩😩

screw in with confidence

I wanted to see how motherboard screws looks like, but that cant be seen in this video. The thing is, my PC case came with one small bag full with screws and I dont know which one to use to screw my MB in.

You forgot crucial part which is grounding yourself. Otherwise elctrostatic charge can kill sensitive electronics.

My right middle screw is being a u know what cant get it in how long i screw

I feel like this didn’t help at all. I still have no idea what I’m looking at or what a standoff is even supposed to look like

Touched back of motherboard

Im so damn stupid i build around 3 pc and now i do another one and i fucking remove all standoffs and placed te motherboard on and screwed in the thing i hope it isnt too late to fix this :(

building a pc is easy they said

Dude ive spent 30 minutes wondering how to do this and i dont understand why my case has so many things sticking out. Where do i put it

Me after watching this video: oh boy I really should have watched this BEFORE i tried to install a new mobo... Yes I fried 2 working mobos, including a new one. And before you ask, i forgot the damn standoffs

you left out E-ATX

make sure u show this to the guy from the Verge so he can learn

I- used the wrong screws...

You can use a nut driver or, if you don't have one, get a motherboard that will drive you nuts!!!

okay so what if your mother board didn't come with screws.. the holes match up, but no screws

I have a question, can you answer it?

Be careful of all the flaws in this video.

Screws did not come with the motherboard

I CANT FUCKIBG GET IT OM

Too many ads 👎

what about the case cables and where to connect then? I came here for this, not for „how to screw some bolts on a motherboard” ....

bro my motherboard didn’t come with screws

Some cases require you to place the shield for the back ports after the motherboard has been placed in. Just slap it on from behind. So thumbs down.

Bro this sucks doesn’t explain which screws to use

This is pointless. How to install the necessary cables?
