I've asked around in a few different places and have gotten varied answers, but since GPU prices are through the roof I think this is really worth looking more into. Basically had a whole system damaged by a power surge, most parts in my old rig died, a couple appear to have survived. I'm about to build a new one and wanted to know if there was any risk in installing my 970 from the damaged rig into the new motherboard, just to see if it survived. Obviously I'd rather use the 970 than pay outrageous prices for a new GPU or use the integrated graphics with the CPU. What is the risk I'm assuming if I hooked up that 970 to the new mobo? Could it fry any of the new parts? Damage the PCIE slot or beyond? Anyone ever done anything like this before?
Any advice would be appreciated.
