Motherboard flex question

[N_L_F 919]

When you flex a motherboard a half inch will it stretch the traces or damage them?

should be ok. i know ive flexed some boards pretty bad. makes me wince every time. never had a problem though.

Thanks man someone told me the traces can tear or stretch easily so I got paranoid lol

micro tearing on the pcb wouldnt be an issue. if anything was a problem it would be cracked solder or something along those lines.

ive never had a problem though and ive flexed boards so bad that i cringed. of course try to avoid it, but it should be fine. if its working im sure you are ok.
