Is it bad to quickly cable manage while on carpet?

Hi,

I confused why my AIO cooler was working but not lighting up (It is the Thermaltake 3.0 360 ARGB cooler) so I popped open the side back panel (not the tempered glass) and checked to make sure everything was plugged in. I did this on carpet as my floor is carpet in my room, but built it on wood. Can this ruin anything or hinder the performance of the PC if I accidentally damaged something. The PC still turns on fine and works as normal, but I'm anxious I damaged something which may ruin performance. I have only built one PC and am not too familiar with the effects of static electricity. If the PC still turns on does that mean nothing is damaged?

If you would have damaged something it wouldn't run fine. I'd say you're good. But in the future just unplug your PC and work on a better surface than carpet.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

If the PC turns on, there is no issue.

 

PC components have become a lot more resilient to static electricity and I doubt you even built up any static electricity anyways.

Don't worry about it.

Ok thanks everyone for the info

I didn't actually touch any components except for the cables and an RGB controller.

Then you have nothing to worry about at all.
