Hi

I have a motherboard with 4/6 SATA ports disabled due to plugging in a SATA 3 M.2 drive. The 2 working ports are hidden behind a bottom intake fan as the case is a MicroATX case, the tolerances are tight. In order to use a 2.5" SSD i have, ive had to plug it in behind the fan. This obviously hits the fan and the pressure is ever so slightly bending the motherboard by like 0.2mm - 0.4mm. Something ever so slight, nonetheless i can see it bending due to the pressure. The port and the motherboard works fine, but just worried about the bending having any adverse affects?

Would this be ok to leave as is?

Thanks in advance!
