cpu cooler bending motherboard

[nasko]

hi im building a mini itx gaming rig and i noticed the motherboard has a slight bend after i installed my cpu cooler. The cooler is a low profile silverstone argon a06. It does not come with a back plate its just screws in from the cpu socket holes on the motherboard. The board is a itx Gigabyte z97n gaming 5. I havent powered it on yet because im waiting for my psu to arrive. Does a bend on my mobo mean trouble. The cooler is mounted properly and the mobo is mounted properly on the stand offs. Thank you so much.

No reason to worry. Mobos have a lot of "bending room" so to speak, you would be freaked out if you only knew the worst examples I've seen. Still, they all worked fine - as long nothing is physically broken, you are all good.
