Small scratchs Motherboard

[Jared Russell]

Hello i recently received a Msi Z87-G45 motherboard from Amazon and upon inspection i noticed 3 small scratches in one area on the Pcb over some connections. They don't seem to be exposing any copper, they just look white, is this just a scratch over the top layer? I haven't built my system yet and won't for a while i just got this because it was on sale so i can't test it yet. My question is will this prevent the mother board from working or slow its performance? Thanks for your time.

Your board is probably fine but if I was you I would be testing it asap to insure everything is ok.
