hello, i've checked various forums regarding my situation but none have really given me a good answer, some say a missing screw won't do much, some say it can.
the thing is i have a pretty heavy cpu heatsink (hyper 412s) i think it's called.
and because it's pretty heavy and the screw directly above the heatsink is missing i'm concerned that it might bend the motherboard. i've tried pusing the motherboard a little against the standoff and there is a slight gap from the mounting hole and the motherboard, a couple millimeters tops.
so my question is: should i be worried about this bending my motherboard in the long run? or is that unlikely? if it could, should i take a screw from the left middle of the motherboard (near the 24pin) and put it at the top instead? or try and ask the company i bought it from to send me a new screw? although i think it's unlikely that they will.
all and all i have 7/8 screws on at the moment.
currently using a sabertooth 990fx r2.0 and a corsair 300r midi tower, if that matters.
