I swear to fuck, if you killed perfectly good hardware by doing or forgetting to do some retarded shit, then in my mind you're going to hell.
I've read horror stories of people who forgot or didn't know to use thermal paste. It makes me sick.
did you forgot the motherboard standoffs

If anyone has ever done this I'm going to suffer a rage induced aneurysm.

I did once. Nothing happened
>>52169579
So wait, you just straight up screwed the motherboard in flat against the case, with no ill effects?
That doesn't seem right. Elaborate, I want to hear the tale of how this came to be
I must know, did you use the PSU that came with the case?

Easily doable and usable if the case is made out of plastic or non conductive material
