MSI detailed a new design where the component pins aren't sticking out the back of the PCB. The pins are flush with the board with solder paste applied flat. First board featuring PinSafe will be MPG X870E Carbon Max WIFI.

I dunno.... I've had plenty of builds over the years that drew blood, but I don't believe any of those could be attributed to PCB pins.
Always knuckles for me from trying to fit CPU cooler and fitting stuff inside the case.
Old cases with sharp edges and a bunch of other things but I agree I don't think it was ever the pins.
This feels like a solution without a problem.
Pin soldering is cheap and I doubt this method costs less than the old fashioned way. Since motherboards sit on standoffs having a small solder bump doesn't make a difference either. Nor are the bumps sharp enough to really be an issue.
Feels like a gimmick to me. I'm not opposed to it, but I certainly wouldn't pay extra for it.
