I am saying this today because when I was installing the new 8gb RAM sticks today and I was pulling the lever down so I could remove the other ram stick my finger slipped and hit the back of my GPU, nothing too harsh and it was at the bottom left of it as well as my fingernails were recently trimmed so they weren't big. As of right now its working fine and just got off playing and recording some minecraft but the question is still in my head: Could there be some damage I caused by have yet to realize or am I being to spooked out?

Again, not much just a little press on the gpu and if I recall correctly no fingernails but if there were they're pretty short and gpu still works perfectly its just that I always like it when someone can confirm the confirmed.

Thanks!

You could kill it by touching it (static) so you should always ground yourself before touching anything in your pc. You could many parts in your computer this way. However if you had it would be dead so dont worry about it if its working

Haha ok. I knew about the static electricity and always ground myself before touching anything and I am always too worried.

Thanks!
