Scratch on GPU Riser pcie gold contacts - how bad?

rusiko

So I caused a scratch from a screwdriver head on my Node 202's GPU riser. Its located on the gold pins located on top of the farthest right text on the pcb. Its that black scratch that runs through 5 of the pins. 

 

I'm wondering how bad it is and if I should not continue plugging a GPU into it.

Nothing is shorted, at worst you won't get any video out of it, can't see how you could damage the card or the mobo.
Also the scratch doesn't seem to be deep, looks like you haven't separated the tip from the base of the contact, might run fine. If you still want to test it before using it just get a multimeter and check resistance between base and the tip.
