ofcourse I use as many as I can to match the motherboard holes. lol. That is the only time I skip it if I run in to odd size board that doesn't match all teh standoffs. But normally yes. As many as I can use.

Quite enjoyed watching the tech and the boss have to eat a shit sandwich after blaming me for the other guy's fuck-up. .....

Pisses me off getting blamed for something you didn't do.
No option for just the center screw and the video card bracket anchored to the case?
I use every available,and also tighten like a wheel on a car. Skip around until just about tight, then go through and finish tighten. If I had a torque wrench I'd use it.
You mad broah?
Of course I use them all. I even used to put extra standoffs under the power connector in the olden times. Those old PSU connectors were brutal. Or the 80pin ide cables? Those took quite a lot of force as well. You could literally bend the board to touch the MB tray with all standoff already in place just by connecting those cables.
Hehe, yep, those are all there for a reason.All, the 4 corners failed against the Scyth Njnia, from that point I used each and every one.
It takes about 2 extra minutes to install and screw in all the standoffs. Why wouldn't you use all of them? Board flex alone should outweigh laziness. We had a person doing our IT work years ago that was lazy beyond description. I fixed several of his pc builds because the board wasn't grounded well (industrial environment). The screws he did install weren't tight at all. The strength of a 2nd-grade girl just didn't cut it.
I would think far more ppl at the [H] would have more screws lose, honestly who do you guys think you are fooling?
Now seriously, raise your hands, who has had a screw rolling around in their case forever they could not find but could hear rolling around every time you moved the box?
lol, that would drive me insane to leave it there. I have lifted the entire PC and shook it in different orientations to find the damn thing.
I use all the standoffs. I am quite paranoid of PCB flex killing components.
They made power screwdrivers for people like youLife is too short to screw in every stand off in addition to screwing every support screw into said stand off.

Lazyness, ignorance and apathy.
Who uses stand offs? Just screw that bad boy right on.

That's when the plastic standoffs come into picture. Back in the 486 / P1 days standoff were plastic pins. I still have some of those saved for cases like that. Just cut the part that goes into the case and voila you have a standoff you can literally put anywhere where there is a hole on the MB.yes. unless the new case I just bought doesnt have all the stand off locations that my board requires. looking at you phantek....
yup you can but i said fuck it and i didnt have any.That's when the plastic standoffs come into picture. Back in the 486 / P1 days standoff were plastic pins.

When you get a new computer case and the godamn standoffs are preinstalled & fused to the case and you don't have anything but a pair of needle nose pliers.
