How did this happen my friend.  That is not good.  I think RMA would take it in tho.  But they can say its a user mistake and what not.  How did you botch it ?  I don't know if you wanna mess with the motherboard trying to solder or other forms the Gigabyte will see it and call it user accident and no RMA.  How don't know how exactly you want to explain this to the RMA and what not.

It came off when i was adjusting my motherboard to fit in the case.. and i held on to that corner for leverage 

 

well is not solder from where i see it.. it has some pads between the metal grill and the vrm mos.. and the one came off its about 0.5 cm while the rest of the grill still stuck on..

Sorry if Im confused, but you say the place that came out had pad on it ?  So the sticky pad wont load it now ?  Once again sorry If I can't understand fully and what not.

So heat is the only problem.  No worries they can width stand a lot of people, they are built to get warm and operate properly.
