The DIY computer enthusiasts community need the help of the eev community and "superstar Dave" to comment about this dangerous situation.


Please Dave, contact Steve about that.

The PC building community is historically epically short of people with actual technical knowledge, so bringing this to the attention of someone with some isn't a terrible idea.

Buying anything from NZXT in the first place, that's a terrible idea.

Someone doesn't know that you should keep traces and power planes away from mounting holes unless you want to use one for grounding. It's a quite silly and dangerous mistake by the PCB designer.

Seen that earlier today. PCB designer is an idiot. It's not like there was even lack of space to place traces anywhere near the holes to begin with.
1. Why do you even have any traces other than GND under a screw.
2. Placing power plane on internal layer fractions of millimeter away from the hole.
3. Use a screw thicker than the hole diameter.
