Damaged DIMM slot.

Hello everyone. I was replacing thermal paste on my CPU yesterday, and the screwdriver slipped and scratched some plastic off one of the DIMM slots. I was thinking about adding more RAM to my PC, and now I'm a little bit concerned. Is it really that bad as I think it is?

doesn't look so bad, from the photo

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I mean, I didn't get the screwdriver anywhere inside the contact, so, it's ok I guess? Should I remove the plastic that got on the contact before putting the RAM stick inside?

possibly, the picture that is shown doesn't tell exactly what the type of blockage really is. Do you have a tool small enough to move the plastic?

Probably a needle
