Do motherboards still need washers?
Do I still need to use washers for a motherboard? I've just recently gotten my hands on an MSI 770-G45, and I noticed the spots on the board where the screws are supposed to go have no metal around them, like the other boards I've worked with, see here. The case I've gotten came with MB screws, but do I still need to get the washers?
Solution 1:
When there are screw holes without surrounding metal I use felt washers between the board and the mounting post. That removes any possibility of inadvertently damaging the board by over-tightening.
