Little "cracks" behind the VRMs.

Hi everyone!

I was building my PC and noticed that there were tiny fissures on the back of the mobo. These seem to be located at the VRM area. I'm not sure how much they'll affect performance, if anything. I've been using the PC for three days now, no problems whatsoever, but you never know.

I'm sending a picture attached. What do you think?

 

Thanks in advance!

The material on the outside of the board that ultimately protects the circuits and gives the board its color might have some deformation in it.

that looks like what my old intel board has, from some closer inspection to me it seems more like just corrosion or wear than "cracks".

 

if those were in some way impeding propper function, the system would simply not be working at all.
