I missed the notch. Good point. I did go back and looked closer after my post and the weird hard cutoff on the focus on the heatsink is giving weird vibes too. If it were just focus I'd expect a smoother transition. I can't fully discount that the lack of pixels is to blame, but the notch definitely is missing. As someone else pointed out, the ram position is odd too in relation to the mobo.

Thinking about it, the power connector is in a weird spot too. Never seen one in that orientation. Usually it's vertical towards the edge of the board.

I definitely spent more time looking for malformed shapes and details then I did component position. But at the same time, I think of that stock photo of a lady pretending to solder, but she's holding the iron by the hot part. It would be weird to not use a real mobo for a stock photo though.
