Detailed explanation-1: -Your motherboard screws into the standoffs you placed in the case, which guarantees not only a secure installation but also helps avoid the risk of short-circuiting the board. So never screw in the motherboard directly, as positioning the standoffs correctly is a major step for installing the board.
Detailed explanation-2: -On a motherboard, there are many electrical connections on the back of the board and the front of the board. Since computer cases are made from metals, there must be space between the motherboard and the case to prevent them from touching each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -After locating the standoffs, place your motherboard inside the case and align the standoffs properly. Screw the motherboard down.
Detailed explanation-4: -Nothing bad should happen to it, as long as there’s no conductive material coming into contact from beneath. In fact on the back of the motherboard should be a ‘keep out zone’ printed, a warning that no conductive material should be near these regions so as not to risk short-circuit (such as metal case standoffs.)
