If it kinda shocked you I think it was probably just static electricity leaving your body to ground via the PSU.

Hello guys... So i got shocked by the power cable of the PSU while unplugging it from the cord or whatevet its called...Did i damaged anything ??

Got shocked by that part on the picture... So was it a shock or static electricity from me touching that part?

 

PS: My mum moped the floor so it was a bit wet and i was with socks when i was unplugging it..

 

PS2 : I plugged and turned on the computer right after this happening everything looked fine and was working good but im still paranoid.. Did i damaged anything with what happened or its fine ??

 

I would appreciate any help.... Please...

i mean i am pretty sure as long as the other end wasn't plugged in you should be good.

 

if you are really scared run some diagnostics.

Yeah it was a little shock i think but when i felt it i just let the cable - then right after that i plugged everything and turned on the PC and everything was fine ... checked HWInfo and PSU voltages were fine also ... but im paranoid i guess .... So if everything is working just fine it should be okay right ?

Right I think you're fine. Besides... I had a fan controller short out on a previous PC of mine. One of those analog ones you connect to molex, it too a while before I managed to get the PC turned back on (it shut off instantly lol). When I got it back on eventually it worked fine, just not the fan header that shorted. To this day only 2 of the 3 headers work. I can tell you I was sweaty after seeing the sparks and the PC didn't turn on again at first lol.
