how to know if i damaged the motherboard

i had problem with my case "corsair 200r" which prevented me from hiding the 8 pin cpu connector behind the motherboard thay. so i took everything apart and when i tried to install the motherboard again i heard some very quiet noises(when i pushed it against the io), so i took it apart again to check for physical damage, i can't see any and i can still boot up and everything. but i just want to make sure that there isn't going to be any long term damage

You're being very vague... But if it posts and doesn't shutdown/bsods it's probably fine.

What is a "silent noise"?

How would you have "hidden" the 8-pin connector? Due to ninja edit this no longer makes sense.

If you can't see any damage how do you expect people who can't see it to tell if there is any long term damage?

i don't expect anyone too be able to do that, but i just wanted to know if someone have tried this and had any trouble later than down the road

 If you can't see any damage and everything is working as it should, you'll be fine. Motherboards are quite tough.

So you couldn't route your 8 pin connector in the 200r, so you took everything out again? Seems like a lot of work. Either way, placing a motherboard in will create some noises. Usually you gotta cram it against the I/O plate and line up the standoffs, which is where your noise came from likely. I doubt there is any damage if it still runs. 

 

My 200r I can route the 8 pin connector behind the motherboard tray. Unless your cable length is the issue leave your top fans out until everything is installed.

thanks that clears up alot :)

 

in regards to the 8 pin connector it was actually the motherboard itself that blocked the 8 pin from going through the cable hole thingy which was why i had to uninstall it
