Probably not, but the only way to know is to reinstall it and see if it works alright.

As long as the PC was off you should be fine.

Good to go, then! The components can be delicate, and it pays to be careful and gentle, but I've seen mobos and RAM take serious rough treatment and shrug it off.

You right when the ram touch the pcb i was so scare btw im using m atx so when im remove the ram the pin that lock the ram always touch the pcb so it very hard to remove the ram without touching the pcb
sorry 4 my bad english

No problem. There's really no way to avoid touching a PCB (motherboard, RAM, GPU, PCI-e card, etc) when you're building or working on a computer. Just remember to work with clean hands, avoid static by wearing a grounding strap or periodically touch a metal part of the case if the PSU is connected, and never let anything metallic bridge any contacts or exposed PCB components. Dropping screws or screwdrivers anywhere in a PC case is to be avoided...bad things can happen.

sorry today i was drop my ram and it touch the pcb and it stuck in the pin on the pcb does it gonna damage my gpu

Again, the only way to find out it to test it. What you might want to try is draping some static-free, lint-free cloth around the area of the PC that you're working with, so that if you drop anything it lands on the cloth instead of your mobo or components. Kind of like masking with tape when you're painting.

how to test it

 

[volcanoscout]

Plug everything in and run it. If everything works like it's supposed to, then no problem.

You're going to have to help me out here with the terminology. PCB stands for printed circuit board. There are many PCBs in your computer, so you'll need to be more specific about which particular one you're talking about. If you can post a picture of the particular pins you're talking about, that would be helpful too.

ok let me see

If you can't post a picture, try giving a more detailed description. Are the pins you're talking about located on the motherboard? If so, there should be some kind of label next to it (CPU_FAN, POWER SW, things like that). What motherboard are you using?

If the pins are on a component, can you tell me which component?
