Hi,

so i was moving cases and one of the screws holding the mobo bit into the standoff and the standoff itself was just rotating in place not budging. Therefore i had to use some force to remove it but as luck would have it i managed to scratch the back of my board. I put it together end everything seems to work but the fan curve i had didn't work as before i had to modify it a little bit but the aio can deal with that.
My main problem is that the gpu is running hotter than it used to. At least that is my impression because it will idle at 60 and goes to 80-81 under 100%. To be honest i didn't really check the temperatures in the old case but i never heard its fans as much as i do now. So i just wanted to ask whether out of experience you could tell if a scratched motherboard can affect this.

Thanks for the answers in advance.

I don't think so if everything works.
