I've been an idiot and installed my motherboard without using any standoffs, its shorted the mobo (there was a puff of smoke) and I had other components plugged in at the time. What is the likelihood that my CPU etc are now screwed? There is no visible damage to them. Also, I tried turning it on a few more times after the smoke with some stuff plugged in.
Really worried about my other stuff, have managed to RMA the board so if the other components are fine them I'm ok. I don't have another motherboard with which I can test the CPU so it's just a case of waiting for the replacement motherboard at this point
