Manual says install 9 screws I can only see 8 standoffs [help]
I'm doing my first build using an ASUS MAXIMUS VIII GENE in the manual it states use 9 screws when screwing in the board to the standoffs but i can only see 8 points on the board

You actually read the manual? :clapping:
I can only see 8 screw points and they're all in the points where I'd expect them to be too.
I reckon it's a manual typo.

It seems to be I've legit got everyone in the house to count them

Have you an extra screw ? Just stick it in a jam jar (cleaned) and save it for a rainy day.
1st of many I expect.

Does the case have a single standoff already placed roughly where the centre of the mobo should go?
Re: Manual says install 9 screws I can only see 8 standoffs [help]
Looking at pictures of that motherboard it appears to be missing the usual bottom right mounting hole. I'd flip the board over and if there's a obvious spot for it there you can leave the standoff in place, otherwise I'd remove it.

Manual then follows this with a picture of the board, with the screw holes CLEARLY circled in red.... but then only circles SIX of the screw holes!!! :lol:
Methinks Asus is messing with your head, on purpose!!
