So, I came across this when reading the review]for ASRock Extreme 4
The only negative I have for this motherboard is that it slips outside of typical ATX specifications. It’s 3cm thinner than a standard ATX motherboard and as a result may lack secure mounting on the far side since this isn’t a common size, which also means you should be very careful when plugging in the 24-pin ATX motherboard power – as the motherboard may flex.
I double checked data and turns out Extreme4 measures 12"X8.6" instead of regular ATX 12"X 9.6", Because it is 1" narrower, I see quite a few reviews claim this result in "flex" issues. Is this because the far right side/corner of the panel will be hanging over the case without a rubber stand to support it, and if it touches the case due to outside force the whole board and everything on it will be destroyed because of shorting of circuit?
2 Questions:
1. ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 users, have you encountered problems related to this?
2. What exactly does "motherboard may flex" mean?
p.s I also heard installing computer parts using a magnetic tip screwdriver is bad, is that true?
