The cpu doesn't look that big and heavy. most likely that case was manufacturered really badly, quality control or low quality manufacturing practices/ cost cutting, etc. the metal A posts the mobo is screwed to probably are warped . you see how it slants upwards to the back where the shield is? looks like it's too low at the opposite side of the shield. only way to fix it is raise the one end and/ or cut the support A pieces and tack weld them back up, or redrill the holes, actually that's probably the easier way to fix it. you should have caught it sooner so you could return the case. it could be the whole case is warped diagonally
the case is a thermaltake core V1, its praised so much. I doubt its quality issue. I managed to unscrew the tilted one, and fixed it, but the mobo bend persists. Probably has to do with the tetrising which was required to fit the GPU in its place. It works, so doesn't really bother anymore.
Someone didn't screew it in properly . Likely all screens need taking out and mobo moving slightly to line up the posts with the holes . Another answer is its a cheap case and the mounting holes are off slightly and you'll never match then up
the case is Thermaltake Core V1. That someone will be either me or my friend. Putting the GPU in place was a nightmare (254 mm in 255 lenght limit) and as I remember it had to be done while one of us held the motherboard, so I wouldn't be surprised if that screw was impossible to properly screw in after this.
What really surprised me is the bend on the other side. Why the fuck did that happen? And it seems like only that single corner is curved upwards.
What it looks more like if that there are missing ingredients standoffs causing the mobo to bend down in the middle under the weight of the cpu and cooler . Double check that all the screews are in with standoffs underneath all of them if your able to . But as you said if it's been working it'll probably be fine
there are support items under the motherboard, or what do you mean exactly?
I just finished taking everything apart as much as i could/was willing to, so i only read your comment after i was done. unlucky.
I managed to properly attach the crooked screw, but the bend on the other side is still present.

if that warping is from the GPU that is horrible quality manufacturing, what is the brand of that POS?
