Motherboard Stand-offs

[dyingstar]

Hey Guys,

For a new (and my first) computer build, I was thinking about buying a thermalright 120 extreme cpu cooler. However, this cooler is monstrous at about 6.3 inches tall. My question is how long are motherboard stand-offs, so I can figure out how wide the case needs to be.

Thanks for your help.

They are normally around 10mm tall.

When measuring the case, you need to take in exactly where the mother board tray is mounted. Most aren't just flat and hard up against the side of the case.
