Motherboard Copper under screws of deskmini X300

[Maxkmk]

Hi,

the copper pads under my screws of my X300 motherboard are visible. I guess it is ok since the traces are not affected. Do you think I have to worry about the pads being visible? I didn't screw to tight in my opinion, I think the coating was to soft.

this happens on most motherboards... some people use plastic washers between the screws and the PCB to prevent that but it's more about cosmetic concerns

however... personally I always check if I can spot some tiny tin / copper burrs shaved off by the screws, because they *could* potentially cause a short-circuit somewhere on the motherboard...
