so im an amateur builder and made an amateur move. i was taking out my gfx but there wasnt much left to unlock the pce slot. so i used scissors (like a fool) to push down and unlock it. i made an error and scratched traces above my gpu as seen in the pictures. will it be okay? i have been using it tonight and noticed 0 problems as of yet.

Motherboards are coated with varnish. It sounds like you didn't scratch all the way though it. Consider yourself very lucky!

the motherboard is a z170x 3 gaming edition.

Don't be scared.
It most probably will be fine.
You didn't scratch deep enough to cut the lines.

so you guys dont think that replacing the motherboard is worthwhile? i would hate to do it since i would have to essentially rebuild the computer and reinstall windows, drivers etc which is just a hassle

If it works, there is nothing to fix
I have quite a few scratches on my MB and it is still working fine.
Though you should be careful in the future because some scratches can cause partial or complete malfunction

Nothing to worry, as long as the contacts dont touch each other you dont have to worry. I would put some heat and non conductive tape(a small piece to cover it so that any stray metal particles dont accidentally short it(chances are 0.00001%)
