Motherboard Standoffs
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- They're a standard item.
- If you have the option to install all of the correct standoffs for your board, then definitely do so. If not, put as many as you can.
- No reason to not fill all of them.
Cons
- It's more important that you don't have some installed where they shouldn't be for your form factor. The can touch the back of the MoBo and cause a short.
- The main risk is when installing devices as it won't be supported because it's flimsy. So you may damage the PCB by flexing it too much if you go to change the GPU, Cooler, etc.
