Okay, I just got my new motherboard today, and have a stupid, yet quick question.
I have a packet of screws and such, and am a little confused as to where I put the little brown washer type things. I know the gold colored things go into the case, and then the screws go through the motherboard and into them. But do the washer-type things go onto or under the motherboard?
depends how many you have. you don't really need more than 3 or 4 screws to hold the whole of the motherboard in. i think most come with 6 holes though.
anyways i'd put them between the upper PCB and the screw. if you have enough then go both sides/more screws....
It seems it would be pretty impossible to get them to stay on the underside of the motherboard without moving it and causing them to fall off. :eek:
So I'd be alright just putting them on the top?
yep
you don't REALLY need them anyways, but they don't hurt.
Thanks, man. :)
I know your question was solved, but yesterday I had the oppurtunitey to dismantle a 386 computer at work expeirence- and likely they are standoffs (can be plastic or a metal based material) and they are inserted onto the motherboard.
I don't understand what you just said. I know they are "inserted onto the motherboard." My Question was above or below.Quote:

But it was answered.
