I do not see that as a scratch.

Likely just a cosmetic production "glitch".

Leave well enough alone but be sure to register the motherboard to ensure that the applicable warranties are in place.

After a few (or a few hundred) thermal cycles a cosmetic glitch can become a problem.

Just be sure to do regular backups etc. - which you should be doing anyway.

Even with a pristine motherboard....

I registered it already !!
The pc store tech guys assembled the pc.
They admitted they hit it with a screwdriver while mounting the aio brackets !!
They assured me it's fine !!!
I wanted to assemble my pc but couldn't due to paucity of time !!!
Here in India .. most of the tech guys are not technically sound.. they only know where the parts fit that's all ..lol... I hope that the mobo will outlast it's warranty....
