Hm... Not so nice. I would get a new one instantly.

Which board is it?

 

It runs over a year now like that so I stopped worrying. It's a gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DQ6.

I'm not embarrassed about my bad cable management, my PC has no side window so I don't care one bit about the mess (but it's not that bad and doesn't mess with airflow). What sucks is that some fans tend to rattle and I have to kick it a little. Not often but yeah.

So you use LINUX or Hackintosh? Maybe some other Custom OS? DOS?

Looked in my grandads PC for some ram to "borrow" little did i know the machine was older than me and had 16mb ram modules

 

I dont think people realise how static resistant modern day tech is, i have a tesla coil which can produce several hundred thousand volts, i will do a video with my old iphone 3gs getting closer and possibly a strike if its survives the EMI

My HD 6670 survived cleaning it while its on with water ;-). It had fragments for about 10 minutes but then it ran just fine lol

surely that does nothing.... Ive extracted the neodymium magnets from a HDD now they are strong could lift 18kg from a magnet which is about 2.5cm long and 1cm wide

 

If it was me, I would be more concerned about the shock
