I have recently built a gaming system (first build). Been working fine I did cable management 3 days ago (been using it every day since) and I have noticed x2 sparks around the 24 pin motherboard cable over the last 2 days. One of the times it happened I was playing a game -the sound and the game image repeated itself almost like lag for about 5 seconds then everything seemed okay. I have not noticed any other issues.
I also changed the stock cooler fans to Noctua NF-A14 Industrial PPC 140mm 2000RPM PWM Fan x2,
What should I do?
Do you think permanent damage has taken place from a couple of sparks?
I am not sure what is causing it does anyone have any suggestions?
I fear I may have pulled some cables too hard when I was doing the cable management could this cause the issue?
Any suggestions appreciated.
