you are talking about the power/reset and pront panel lights correct?

it doesn't matter if there are extra pins, just as long as you have plugged in everything. heck you don't even need to plug in everything, just as long as you've got the power/reset plugged in :)...

hopefully that answers your question.

i think he means the motherboards stand offs. its ok if they arent all there, just so long as theres no extra ones and nothing is shorting out on the case itself.

ah yeah, the word "pins" threw me off... if it is standoffs then it also doesn't matter. lol.

yeah, stand offs. theyre not that important, just make sure everything is secure and not ready to fall apart and your good.
