So I just opened my case to install a new aio cooler, and somehow when turning the case around a cable I stupidly didn't unplug snagged on my new gpu and it fell out of the bus slot somehow. The card seems fine, but the gold rubbed off (or broke off?) on one of the pins. Is this a problem? I put everything back in place and the card seems to be working as before. I'm loathe to return the GPU, I just got it a few days ago as an open box deal from microcenter, and I think they'd just give me cash back instead of an exchange, so I'd lose out on the deal. OR am I stupid and it just came like this and I already forgot???

Here's a picture:

If your card is running ok Then you are still making a good contact and Id just keep it. If you would try to explain to them what happen they may not take it back.

It appears so, thanks guys! Just dropped half of my upgrade budget on it so I had a little freakout.
