Not sure about the required stand offs. The product details don’t mention them, and I haven’t used similar setups before. I’m checking Amazon for any included stands or recommendations. If they don’t come with, I’d need around six stand-offs. Confirming that seems right?
The frame is typically supplied with standoffs at the correct height. Often there are several built-in and a few additional ones. If your motherboard is very large, you might need to buy more, but usually E-ATX or smaller frames come with enough for installation. Yes, the board appears to have six mounting holes—enough for your needs. Remember to note any extra components for future upgrades.
And if you require additional standoffs (install only where your motherboard has holes), you can purchase them. They match the standard UNC 6-32 with a 0.250" (6.35mm) gap between base and board: https://www.digikey.com/short/pvj1hw. Use the same screws you employ for the power supply or mechanical drives—typically 6-32. PCs also use M2 for M.2 connectors and M3 for optical drives, though M3 is slightly smaller with a finer thread pitch. Inserting an M3 screw into a UNC 6-32 standoff won’t secure properly; it will loosen rather than lock in place.
