Do mobos come with screws?

Can you remove standoffs?

If you have a standoff that does not align with a hole in the motherboard should be removed to avoid a short. A pair of pliers should be sufficient to remove the standoff. If needed, a vise grip can hold on much tighter. Standoffs outside of the motherboard perimeter do not need to be removed.
