I had a vague recollection of having some of these and had a bit of a hunt around.

Are these suitable?

They look close, could you measure the width of the clips?

They are 11mm x 9mm, but that includes the 1mm lip at the bottom of the two legs, so they appear to be 9mm x 9mm and 7mm tall.

I think they would work, up for selling them?

You can have them, l only need to cover the shipping costs. Send me a private message with which country you want them shipped to so I can get an idea of charges and customs.
I can't send PMs yet as I've only just joined, and I'm not quite ready to post my current dual P3 build 😁

Shipping looks like it will only be $5-$6 and there shouldn't be any customs charges. If you PM me your address details I can send them in the next few days, I still can't send a PM (or reply to one)!

I just sent them a hand full. Not sure if they still need more. Maybe they will chime in soon

Can always use more! Also talking with a friend to see if something can be 3D printed so we all have a solution for this.

I sent you a PM, no sure if you can reply due to your post count.

oh boy
those standoff make me remember the lian li ones
impossible to find, such a small and basic thing and they did that design that you just can´t find a replacement.

and you cant even 3dprint something similar because that needs to be metal i belive and the motherboard expects ground points with the case.

While i'm not as knowledgeable as most on here but I for sure can say that a motherboard doesn't need to be grounded by the standoffs. Not only have a run motherboards on cardboard boxes for extended periods and had no issues but the mobo will get grounded to the case via the 20/24 pin power connector.

It's good to bond everything, but there is usually a ground path through the psu also across all black wires. which as said above is why they usually work outside cases and you can read continuity between mounting holes and psu without a case.

Yeah you can run a motherboard without grounded standoffs, but that doesn't guarantee it will be reliable or safe in that state.

For testing it's fine but for long term installs you probably wanna ground at least a couple of them
