Problems with Asus P5E3 and Silverstone TJ-10 case

[SGasan116]

Hello!

I have Asus P5E3 and SilveStone TJ-10. When I tried to put mobo into the case – on the supporting removable plate, I discovered that mobo holes doesn’t match with risers (spacers) holes approximately 0.5-1mm, and to be able to a attach a mobo I have to push hard toward the baseplate (at the back). This could be possible happened because of Asus attach a rubber strip(covered by silver foil) onto backplate, which prevent it to properly align mobo holes with spacers (risers) holes.

What should I do: put a pressure and attach with this pressure – but then it will be constant pressure on all inputs and outputs at the back, or I can try drilling a larger holes in the mobo? Also I can remove that silver/rubber thing on back plate – but it can create issues with EMI or short some trails on the mobo. Did somebody have these problems with Asus P5E3?

Also another question with SS TJ-10 (it has PSU at the bottom of the case) – sound or video card on the bottom? I have XFX GT 528mb and Asus Xonar D2.

Please help me with your wisdom – this is my first system, but I already stuck at the beginning.

P.S. (sorry my mistakes – English is my second language)

Remove the backing from the backplate and the board will align (make sure that you have the stanoffs in the right ATX holes). You do not need the backing material, and don't worry, you will not short anything. Do not for the force the motherboard back. Make sure that the board is screwed down with firm (not tight), even pressure. :up:

Oops sorry, I should have asked you I you first put the backplate firmly in the motherboad tray? Did you confirm that the backplate was secure?

Yes, I definitely put the backplate firmly in the tray. I checked everything 10 times, each step, and each corner.

How did it go? Did the motherboard align with the standoffs?
