Two screws can help hold a non-securing MATX motherboard in place when needed.
Two screws can help hold a non-securing MATX motherboard in place when needed.
I possess 8 mounting points on my mATX motherboard, partially fastened into my case. There are still 2 screws remaining, one I planned to skip due to space constraints, and another that’s hard to place because of clearance with my aftermarket cooler and a large heatsink already installed. Don’t worry about the “GAMING” emblem on the heatsink—it won’t block any holes. It’s fine to have a screw missing, but this setup is an mATX build, not an ATX, and having two screws out of place isn’t ideal.
It's fine, just don't pull hard when removing cables in the future unless you support the board.
It seems everything is working well. Getting a screw in should not be too challenging.
The fridge magnets are quite large ;( I think I’ll grab a different screwdriver instead, my one is a low-quality AliExpress deal that tends to fail.)
