I am trying to find a definitive answer to this debate: Plastic or Metal standoffs for MB mounting to back plate ?
Seen a bunch of forum posters elseware swear to use metal and other experienced builders say plastic is fine.
The main argument for 'team metal' is having multiple grounds for the MB to use to chassis. i.e if your MB back plate is thoroughly grounded to case.
But 'team plastic' says 'hey the MB already has multiple grounds thru the PSU connection, the PCI cards jack plate, etc.'
and how good is the back plate ground anyways thru all those little screws to the case ?
So which is it and your reasons for that guys ?
