Hi everybody,
I recently took of the side panels of my casing to compare the temps while operating, because my casing is insulated so to check if no insulation would help I took the biggest ones off, which are in the panels. No while running MSI Afterburner I was having a look at the GPUs fans and while doing this I accidently kinda pumped into the PCIe cables and in doing so the display shut off, while the rest of the PC kept running (GPU fans actually started to go faster).
I turned the PC of via the power button and restarted it, which it did with no trouble. Then my incomprehenisble sense of curiosity kicked in and I decied to touch the PCIe cable again (dumb I know) to which the computer responed just like before.
I rebooted again, which worked fine and started a game where I had a solid performance of 144 fps. However in one scene suddenly the framerate went down to about 60 for a few seconds until it returned to 144.
Now I want to know, how hard did I f*ck up here. I know I shoudn´t have touched the cable again but I coudn´t help it. Coud the sudden loss and regain of performance be a result of my stupidety or is is just unreleated (its nota AAA game so it coud just be buggy)? Is there a way to check for damage?
Thanks in advance for any hep!
