Hi!

 

I'm building a new computer and messing up just about everywhere I can :S

 

So I had to use some side cutters to undo a zip tie, and ended up hitting the back of the motherboard with the pliers. It wasn't too hard, but there's a visible scratch. Picture attached. I haven't turned it on yet.. Is this going to be a problem?

I will recommend an NHu12s (or an NHd15 (maybe)) for your PC build. Quote or @ me @Prodigy_Smit for me to see your replies.

It depends on how deep is the scratch,if it didn't sever any traces you are fine..

Kind of a shitty pic so it's hard to tell but it doesn't appear you cut any traces. Should be fine.

Ok thanks guys! It went into BIOS fine so I'm guessing everything's ok. I swear I accidentally ended up handling every component so hard that I wouldn't be surprised if none of them worked 😅

 

But we can consider this solved then
