So i was putting my build into the new entho evolv atx tempered glass edition and i don't know what i exactly did, I barely remembered it but I know I was holding a fan header and it was near the CPU Fan header 2 on my motherboard. It turned immediately orange/lava and i smelled smoke the instant it did. I hit the off switch on my power supply fast i could. I panicked, i waited the smoke to finish and turned it back and to my surprise, everything worked.
Stress test CPU with overclock, still works, Ram test, works, Valley the GPU for a bit, still works, computer detects all SSD hard drives, and all fans works on all headers including the one that was burned.
The spot that smoked was next to a CPU fan header like i said and that fan header is still working, still pwm'ing a Corsair SP 120 PWM fan just fine.

Should i be worried?
It's a z97 gaming 5 motherboard
Its working wonderfully and the fan header near the burned spot seems to be working as if nothing happened along with the rest of the computer. The "Burned" spot still has the same colorization as other fan headers (physically it looks like nothing happened to it/never got burned)
