Why do I need to use these standoffs when mounting my motherboard?

These standoffs create an essential air gap between your motherboard and the metal computer chassis. This physical separation prevents dangerous electrical shorts that could ruin your components. They also provide a secure, stable mounting point for your board.

How do I know which thread size I need for my PC case?

You need to match the standoff thread to your specific case and motherboard holes. We offer sizes from M2 up to M6. Most standard computer builds use M3 threads, but check your manual to be certain.

What are these standoffs made of and why does it matter?

These pillars are made of high-quality brass, which resists corrosion and handles temperatures up to 120°C. The metal is strong enough to resist stripping while offering reliable electrical grounding for your PCB. Plus, the hexagonal shape makes them easy to grip with standard tools.
