Hi everyone

I recently brought this mb and its a lot worse then I though it would be,, the damage is around the middle standoff hole,

I was wondering if I would be able to fix it without to much issue.. and if I could potentially damage any parts I put in it to test it (i.e cpu,ramm,gpu,psu)

there is a fair amount of copper exposed so i dont want to risk frying the only ryzen cpu lol

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

brought this mb
What is the make and model of the motherboard?

I noticed the image in your reddit post, I'd return it, without a doubt! Some traces below the circled area are scratched.

you will cut washers from cardboard and insert them and there will be no problem

Sticker with arrow on that board indicates, this is a rejected RMA board.
So - someone damaged it, sent it to RMA and RMA was rejected.

Basically - micro surgery level soldering is required.
Board level repairs.
It will be less expensive just to get a new board.
