So I got a 915P Neo-F mobo. When I give it power, it doesn't post. Then I noticed something that could be a defect. I've never seen it on any other mobo.

You know those pathways that go from the northbridge to the CPU and from the northbridge to the memory. There are multiple little sections on some of the pathways on the motherboard that are uncovered. You know how the mobo is supposed to be the color red and no wires are supposed to be showing, but the little sections have no covers. what do you thinK?
