Hello All,
It's been a while since I've built a computer, but I decided to take my new free time staying at home to make a new custom build.
Since it'll be about 7-8 years since I build one after this I decided to, relatively speaking, go all-out. I wanted a challenge so I went the mini ITX route. I got an X570 mobo and put it in an InWin A1 plus chassis, which has an integrated 650W Gold PSU. At the end during cable management I took the PSU cover (used to hide the PSU from the glass side) off and noticed that at the factory, they had clipped one of the cables, fraying it very slightly but exposing the bare wire which is also damaged slightly.
I wrapped it in electrical tape and replaced the shroud and the system is operating fine. However, upon sleeping on it, I'm a little worried this could damage the motherboard over time. Google didn't really yield many answers so I figured I'd turn to you good people. Any thoughts?
Cheers,
