Question Motherboard bending

[wizacs]

Hello, while I was installing my motherboard I think I applied too much force to tighten the screws, I saw it was bending a little bit, but I wanted to be sure that the motherboard was correctly installed. Is the motherboard damaged?

Well did you hear a snap? and are you having any issues.

If the answer is no to both back off the screw and you should be okay.

No, I didn't hear a snap, and the motherboard is working.

Good to hear. I would just back off screws just enough and you will be fine. Enjoy

For future reference, the stopping point is right when you start to feel resistance, and then maybe an additional 1/16 - 1/8 turn is all you need
