My friend accidentally touched the thumbscrew that tightens my corsair h105 liquid coolers mounting bracket into place and I heard a real loud electrostatic shock. I havent even started the computer yet. Just need to install ram and my 980 ti and its good to go but, now im worried. I mean he didnt touch the board exactly but i feel like the shock would expand to more then just the thumbscrew. What do you guys think and what should I look for when i start it up?? Getting my ram tomorrow. Or should I even start it up? If it did fry the mobo will it damage my other components?? This is a 3000$ CAD build, so I am a little worried 😛 i mean its all under warranty but still. First build. Took me 4 hours to put it all together. Any input will help, thanks.
 
I hope its fine. If its not will it damage other components?? I mean it was a loooud freakin' shock lol. Im gonna wait to connect the gpu. Ill do that after I check and make sure everything else is good.
