great_7562Resistor/Capacitor broke off, anyone knows if it matters?
RivalarrivalK72s are transistors typically used in power management. I would guess that when it was intact, it controlled power for either the PCIe slots to the right, or the USB-C port above it.
If the affected port isn’t in use, it probably won’t cause any issues.
MentalEdgeThat would be my assumption.
You don’t see much redundancy in motherboards, so OP is off in that regard.
Rather, a lot of parts are non-critical because not every single one is needed to begin with. Unless you actually populate every single connector and port on a motherboard, a lot of it is doing nothing.
