Quick question about components

[Kieran10]

How easily can components like the GPU or Ram become loose? I keep bumping my case and want to know if this will have an effect on performances as a result of a loose part?

As long as they have been correctly and properly fitted, not likely. But heavy shunts can still cause damage.

RAM will very rarely become dislodged if it has been fitted correctly.
The GPU is at more risk depending on its size, it could sooner bend and sag, which could both damage the GPU and Motherboard.

So it can depend on how hard you are hitting it, little knocks will likely not do anything if everything is properly secured, either way, constantly knocking it is only going to cause problems if anything.

The force is very minor like a slight knock whilst walking past.

Then as long as the components have been properly secured, they likely won't budge. But it is a habit you need to eliminate if its a regular occurence!

As I said, RAM will not be a problem with minor knocks, but the GPU depending on its size, can begin to bend and sag with heavier knocks. Doesn't happen easily, but it can. Just ensure everything is properly secured!
