So I bought a gigabyte b350 and I was checking it out, with precaution of course but when I was about to put it back into the bag accidentally dragged the side of the pcb on my shirt for about 1 second without noticing, it was a cotton shirt so I wanna know, how probably is to damage the mothernoard by doing that? there are a couple parts missing on my build so I cant test it. Please help

Shouldn't be a problem , most pcb's have large earth planes which are good at absorbing static electricity. And trufully damaging components with static discharge happens incredibly rarely. Only seen it happen on a couple of LCDs in 30 years in the electronics industry.
