Mobo placement

[pgebhard]

I have my GA-7vtxe and my case came with lots of screws. I have sorted them and I have hexagonal ones (I think the risers), then 4 plastic black ones (not really screws, but like blunt plastic thumbtacks), and then long screws which might go in the risers, and then there are these things that were already placed on the mobo rack, but there are more that were in the bag of screws. They look like a square, they are like this _/**\_ and they arent screws, but they have a place on top (where the ** are) where screws could be screwed into.

Now, on the mobo, there are 6 holes around the edge of the mobo that have a metal ring around them, then there are somewhat tiny holes on the VERY corners, then there are 4 holes by the Socket A part that dont have a metal ring around them.

Sorry if this is confusing, but I wanted to know which screws went where. Any help would be appreciated.

They look like a square, they are like this _/**\_ and they arent screws ... those are the ones to use they go in the holes in the case in a certain way then twist..use the mobo to line up with whichever holes (ones that have metal ring around the edge are preferred if not there are felt washers..make sure to use like a Sanford type marker to determine which holes need the standoffs...the funny .. _/**\_ ...) the black plastic ones are most likely to be used at the 4 corners of the board and the 4 holes by the CPU socket are for HSF mounting if your HSF is designed for that type mounting. , but they have a place on top (where the ** are) where screws could be screwed into.
