Possibly broke my motherboard. - clarification.

Hello,

I was working on a build and used the "Cooler Master Seidon 120M 86.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler".

Followed to the instructions, finished the build, no power came on. Did the usual trouble shooting to see what parts are possible broken etc.

Disconnected the cooler and stand offs, to my horror, saw scrapes from the stand offs, then realised after detaching the unit to the stand offs, ruined the trace routes. (insulated washers were not supplied nor I thought this would happen)

So, just need some clarification, this is the cause of the problem, correct? 🙁

The board is probably no longer viable. 🙁

RMA isn't possible because it was damaged by the builder.
