So I installed a hyper 212+ and after I reinstalled my graphics card (gtx 460 v2) it sparked and burned out. I tried it in a friends pc and it did the same thing but nothing was damaged in his pc. Could anything like this damage the 6+2pin pci-e power connectors on the psu or the pci-e slots on the motherboard? I'm getting a new card friday and I'd rather not fry it as soon as I put it in. Everything has been fine for over a year.



system specs : Intel core i5 2500k, 8gb g.skills ripjaw x series ram, mobo - GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3, 630watt Antec Neo Eco 620watt psu

Should be fine. If you really wanted to, try and find yourself a very old card that can be plugged into the system and see if it boots and runs fine. 95% of the time a system is perfectly fine when this sort of stuff happens, unless of course, its not a GPU issue (Say a PSU could be causing the issue if its faulty.)

check to see if the capacitors near the voltage regulators show any bulging. If that's the case you could try and replace them for very cheap less than 3 dollars for a pack on ebay. I am assuming you possess soldering tools and lots of free time?

Repairing it isn't what I asked. I do have soldering tools either way but I'd rather not. What seemed to burn out was a chip on the back of the card with pwr written on it.
