    I have a p6t6, and didn't use non conductive washers and it worked just fine, as I haven't with every computer I have built, and you shouldn't use them either. Most boards have a solder ring around the screw hole to make sure its all electrically grounded to the standoff. Some square standoffs might need one due to size, however the boards are designed for use with pillars and work fine.
