Forgive the truly newbie question, but I'm installing this board into a new PC and for the life of me can't decide whether to use spacer studs on two 'holes'.

If you're familiar with the board, there's an exhaust chamber which funnels out heat at the top (northern) end of the board. According to the user's manual, there are two areas where spacers should be used, but each of those already has a screw with a rubber washer (and a bit more screw) showing. The board seems to fit in the chasis with or without the spacer. I just don't want to short this thing out in the first five minutes.

Anyone ever installed one of these that can offer guidance? Thanks!
 
all i did was installed it with stand offs in the availabnle holes. no need for a spacer. once the available stand offs are in place and screwed in the board in very secure in the case. so just use regular standoffs and mount it liek that.
