shorting motherboard
hi to everyone, just read about a possible motherboard shorting out and had a thought is it possible to test say using a multimeter that your board is not shorted to the case just as a double check even assuming you used the spacers ect before cranking up for the first time.
what do they say - never assume anything. im probably wrong but it would ease your mind. |

If you use the spacers correctly - i.e. ONLY where there is a corresponding screw hole on the motherboard, it's very unlikely that your board will short out to the case. By far the most common reason for a short is builders installing too many spacers.
