[SOLVED] Scratch on motherboard

[Diptes]

Is it serious ???

I mean the PC runs fine !!
Will it pose a problem in the near future ??
The build cost me around 2000 dollars. So i am a bit worried !!

Is that unpopulated memory slot in the pic ?

These zigzag traces connect to the memory. to get the exact same length needed.

try populating the memory in all dimms and see if there is a problem.

Maybe the scratched part is not being used (empty dimm) ...

want an advice ? If you can replace it you will feel better ... because in the future any problem you will have, you will start suspecting it is from the scratch and it will never end.

If you cant and it works fine as you said , don bother and live with it. Cut memory traces will not work.

Yeah 2 memory slots are empty...
I ran games for hours .. i didn't find anything strange..
Pc temps are good !! Everything is working as expected !!

BTW it's an asus rog z490 e gaming paired with i7 10700k.
I don't think asus with replace it if it works fine !!

Looks superficial. I wouldn't worry about it if everything is working properly.

Asus won't replace physically damaged components. That is the fault of the user, not the device.

These four screws for the cooler mount , I can see some are above some traces ... I think you need rubber washers to prevent scratching them...

He is not professional , he did not put rubber washers below the mounting screws .. and it is clear that some of them are wider than the hole and are above some traces. in such case , one should put rubber washers to prevent scratching the traces when screwing them .

If you are overly worried about it, take it up with the PC store and get them to replace it.

Seriously though, it looks like a superficial/cosmetic flaw. I would ignore.
