My motherboard is bent slightly at the bottom right and top left corner( near the hdmi ,dvi and ps2 slots).My question is can it damage any of my components (ram, gpu, cpu etc)? It's been 3 weeks since the incident and everything seems to work fine but i want to be sure.
Thank you in advance. 

My motherboard is ASUS b150M A/M.2.

Sry for the bad quality photos i will post more with the motherboard outside the case if neccessary.

Take out the motherboard to check for damage (unless you already have), and hopefully putting the motherboard screws back in will Flex the motherboard back into place. Honestly, it's a miracle to think still even works, because disfigured motherboards will often destroy contacts coming from the CPU, causing the board to only be active when someone is actually flexing the board in the opposite direction. the good news is that the only thing that can be damaged by a bent motherboard is the motherboard itself, although I imagine whatever trauma cause this could have also bumped something else.

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

I don't know when i bend it either i left a screw and tried to pull the mb out the case or when i tried to put the stock cpu intel cooler.Does it matter that much?

i guess just don't do it again, be very careful
