Haha yeah, you have the right of it. It's a strix z690-e and has mounting ports for the older AIO coolers I guess. Yes way over torqued. I picked this up locally for way cheap. Working on an all 2nd hand part budget build. I was really hoping to get it fully functional because it's out of my...

From your experience, could an electronics shop fix this, or even would they want to? And if so how much approx do you guys think that would cost? I've sent out some feelers so I'll see if anyone responds.

Ok, so I cleaned up the areas and took some better pics. Here is what we have. The first spot is just a single trace that has he coating rubbed off, but it looks like it's still in tact though it appears that in areas it has some of the trace shaved off. This next one is the real issue...

Just to clarify, you are saying that the pen you posted a link for would work for the repair, but to truly do it the right way, which would be better than using the pen, would be to do the soldering method?

The TraceTech Conductive Pen is a brilliant idea, but unfortunately its a bit pricy at over $70. How about a cheap knock off conductive silver paint/paste/pen from Amazon? I did like pendragon's idea with the graphite lead pencil, but I'm concerned that the tolerances and precision design of...

I didn't even consider that at all. Ill do a seqrch for some youtubers that do that. It's certainly worth a try. This is kind of what I was thinking, just wanted some input from you guys on the forum. And I was really hoping to get it to work since I'm working on a very low budget, and I didn't...

So you do not think this is repairable? I have 2 sticks and it would be unfortunate to lose dual channel performance.

I am dealing with a similar issue on a motherboard, in my instance it happens to be trace damage. If you've inspected it visually and there is no appearance of damage then I agree with a previous poster. Take very good pictures of the board, make a video of testing the Ram. Then RMA it.

I have a motherboard with some damage around the mounting points for the cpu cooler. Looks to have dug into the PCB and caused damage to the traces. Will only post with ram in B1 or B2 Dimm slots. Is this repairable? Should I bother, or would it be a waste of my time looking for someone to fix it?
