I was screwing the gpu backplate to my pc case and a thumbscrew was dropped inside the GPU near the backplate , the PSU was switched off at the time that happend and I removed the GPU from the pci and wiggled the gpu until the screw came off .
The pc booted up fine , I did a stability test for a piece of mind and ran a game for about 30 mins , and yet saw some livestreams for 1 hour or something. No issues until now ...
Should be worried about the screw have been dropped on the gpu in a long term usage or if it is working it will be fine ?
