Gigabyte GA-Ep45-DS3L/ Case problems.
So my old K8N Neo Plat 4 board from MSI fried on me so I decided to get the Gigabyte GA-Ep45-DS3L. I tried to put it into my case but the screws dont match up with the ground. I'm currently using a NZXT Trinity model. I was wondering what would be a good cheap case to fit the screws, I cant seem to find any information on this and to be honest I feel like a newb

usually you can remove the standoffs and move them to a different place on the board

Re: Gigabyte GA-Ep45-DS3L/ Case problems.
with the board removed from the case, you should see a bunch of holes in the motherboard tray on the case. Remove all the existing stand offs and lay the motherboard (VERY gently) into the bottom of the case. Offset the board from the holes in the tray by a tiny bit and mark through the holes in the motherboard onto the motherboard tray with a sharpie. Once the 6 holes are marked, remove the motherboard, install stand offs in the holes you just marked and install the motherboard.
