Question How screwed am I? (Pun intended).

[Deleted member 2919331]

I ordered an RM650 and have honestly not been having such a dope time with it. Firstly the 24 pin modular connector doesn’t “click” into place which is something I was considering an RMA for, but worst of all I derped out on installation and used three (yes three) ventilation holes at the back by accident instead of the actual mounting holes. Here is an image of the two i’m concerned about:

My stupidity truly knows no limits.
I have two questions.

How likely is it that I damaged any of the internals? I used screws around the same length as motherboard mounting screws so nothing too long.
Will this void any potential warranty in the future?

If any of you sweet hardware gods would be so kind as to check the internals of this PSU and evaluate the situation for me I would be thankful.

That doesn't seem to have done any damage.

Probably not.

IMO with this being a power supply, if you had screwed into something of consequence, you would have been aware of it by now. Possibly in spectacular fashion.

Probably not.

I’m pretty convinced of this too but now i’ve discovered something else 😂 Is my type 4 pin connector supposed to have a hollowed our segment like this?

All is well. The connector is normal.

You are so screwed!

No looks like it did no damage at all, just to the paint, I've actually done that before, Just screw it back in the way it suppose to and it should be good.
