I recently purchased a refurbished motherboard from Amazon. It's an MSI Z690 DDR4 unit. The board had a slight bend at the bottom left corner of the PCB. A quick visual check showed all components are securely soldered, though the bend is noticeable. Is this a problem now or could it affect performance later?

Perhaps? I wouldn't rely on it. It could work for a long time, but once a board is significantly damaged this way, some signs will show they're close to breaking if not addressed already.

Unless it's extremely inexpensive, I'd exchange it. Making a PCB like this requires work, so it's unclear what might have occurred with this motherboard.
