Help fitting a RS480M2 motherboard please.

Hi all,
I've just bought a RS480M2 motherboard + Athlon64 3000 CPU + 512MB  DDR400 Kingston memory and a Casecom KG-400 ATX Midi Tower.
The problem is when i first came to fit the motherboard, the case has raised mounting points for fastening the board to, but if ido this the backplate which holds the heatsink touches the case could this damage the board and short it out   , or will it be ok.
There are a couple of pictures showing inside the case.

I wasn't sure about this so i used the small brass stand off's and built everything togetherand every thing works fine, except the board is too high for the backing plate to fit and too high fo rmy pci tv card to fasten down to the case.
Any advise would be welcome.
Thanks,

I’m sorry if I’m not explaining myself correctly but I’ll try again.
I built my first computer (amd 1ghz) about 3 or 4 yrs ago, and it was getting a bit slow, so I decided to build myself a new pc. When I came to build my pc I fitted the standoffs like in my old case, but found the motherboard to be too high because of the raised mounting holes( raised bits of metal in the case) were the standoffs fit.
So tried it without them and just screwed it to the raised mounting holes in the case and every thing fitted fine except I noticed that the backing plate fitted under the motherboard slightly touches the case. So I went back and used the standoffs but its too high. Is there anything to fit under the backing plate so no contact is made with the case.
If not what I’m thinking of doing is using my old case but would the power supply be ok its 300w silent one from Quiet PC.
Thanks again,
Toby27

  • Help me choose a motherboard [please]!

    Hi, I live in Canada and would like to buy a motherboard from MSI. I just want someone to direct me to the least expensive motherboard that has a socket for the E6300 Core 2 Duo CPU, 4 slots for DDR2 RAM, SATA and PATA compatibility, PCI Express 16x graphic card slot, built-in LAN (doesn't have to be GIGABIT LAN), and, a built-in sound card (nothing special needed, all I need is to hear sound).
    I will not overclock at all, so...someone please help me!
    Thanks in advance!

  • MOVED: need help with my k7n2 delta series motherboard please

    This topic has been moved to AMD SocketA based board.
    need help with my k7n2 delta series motherboard please

    "...the other memory ive been using is  memorymaxx 512mb ddr 3200..." If I understood right, your'e actually using both memories at same time so, your'e lucky if it works. We have said thousand times that mixing dif. brand/make/speed memories is a bad idea, most with this Mobo that is very picky about ram. If you want to avoid slowdown problems, stay with only one stick ( the better one ) until you can buy at same time in same store, 2 identical memories to replace the old one.

  • Will a 285 GTX fit into my motherboard?

    I am not very good with computer parts and I was wondering if the 285 GTX would fit in my motherboard MS-7388? I can give more information if needed.
    Thanks in advance.
    Edit: Sorry if I posted in the wrong section

    Which 'MS-7388'? Please use the full model name when referring to your mainboard:

    But, the simple answer to your question is: yes.

  • Help me fix my 8900 PLEASE! Desperate now

    Hi
    A month ago, I was using my phone - had like a 20-30 minutes call, it was quite hot, so I was a little sweaty through the call (relevance will come later).
    Anyway, 5-10 minutes after call, my keypad stopped functioning completely. Read around, they said it is most likely a moisture issue.
    So now, I gave it in to a mobile repair centre - after holding it for 1 month - they said they couldn't fix it...
    What can I do to have it fixed!? Would maybe reformatting help (if anyone has a method of reformatting phone via Desktop manager - I would appreciate it). I am not worried about cost :/.
    Thank you ;(.

    Reformatting and software won't do squat for a hardware/moisture problem.
    You are probably about a month late to post here, if done in time, moistures issues are very easily overcome. 
    HOWEVER, the salts in your sweat are the problem here. Salty moisture will dry and leave minerals deposited on the inner workings of the keyboard and those mineral deposits can short the keys out.
    Nevertheless... you can try/attempt to dry out your keyboard, remove the battery and LEAVE the device open in a bag/box of dry rice for five days. Do NOT replace the battery each day to check it. Electricity and moisture do not mix well... 
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Got_Your_Bl​ackBerry_Wet%3F
    All that said... if cost and money is not a problem, get a new 8900. I have a feeling you've fried this one by waiting too long.
    And, get a Best Skins Ever for full protection of your device.

  • Urgent help for extremely new newbie - please.

    I have been asked to set up a Labview program to graph and log
    thermocouple temperature measurements from two Keithley 2001 Multimeters
    and a DC voltage from HP 34420A nano Volt/Micro Ohm Meter. All three are
    instruments are IEEE interfaced to a Windows 98 machine running Labview
    (version 5.0 I think.) I have a couple of weeks to get the job done.
    The problem is that I have never used Labview. I am an experienced C,
    Fortran, BASIC programmer but this graphical system is completely new.
    My situation is complicated because I am told the experienced person who
    was originally going to set this up left under bad circumstances and
    took many of the manuals. I would greatly appreciate any and all help I
    can get.
    Please feel free to send responses directly to me.

    iOS: Restore error 3194 or 'This device isn't eligible for the requested build'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4451
    This occurs when iTunes is unable to communicate with the update-and-restore server (gs.apple.com). This is most likely because it is being blocked, redirected, or interrupted by security software, hosts-file entries, or other third-party software.
