Hello! Good evening. Could you know how to check if your motherboard is still working properly? I pushed the GPU metal onto the board by accident, and it’s my first Asrock B550m Pro4 build. Thank you for any help I can get. I’m finally sleeping now.

It seems like you're referring to a design feature on the motherboard, possibly related to audio performance. These shielding elements around the audio chip are usually intended to enhance sound quality and prevent interference.

It seems like a circuit board layout. It could work fine and won't damage your motherboard.

Those are the subtle gray traces on or inside the PCB. They connect the rear audio ports to the front audio header. It seems this is the only spot on the board with them. What do you think they’re for?

It should work fine aside from audio. Those black lines seem to be just for visual effect.

the black lines are decorative, it's the single brown line. in the zoomed pic above the faint gray lines are the traces. don't what the brown line is for. whether it is a problem don't know for sure, have to wait for an update from OP.

The best way to verify it is to build the PC and use it.
