i think i did something wrong

[warmerplace212]

well as you can see on the picture i just got my PSU and because i got no case i wanted to see if it runs the fans so i put the screwdriver in the console or how you call that so it started after a few seconds all the fans were running but than i wanted to put it off so i put the screwdriver again on the same spott and a spar came off from it and i wanna know if i killed my motherboard or cpu or if its fine

Does it still boot into BIOS?

[incarnate]

Should be ok. Next time use the switch on the psu to turn it off.

 

So long as it turns on again you're probably fine

Also, next time, just hit the switch on the power supply to turn it off.

Are you sure you touched the right pins? I doubt you've wrecked you board but the only way to know for sure is to test it again, see if it boots.....

Like everyone's said, you're probably fine.  I wouldn't worry too much.  As soon as you get your RAM, do a test boot into BIOS to make sure everything is fine.

well would i be fine if their came a spar from it because that means that i hid + with + or - with - pins

That doesn't necessarily mean that you damaged the board.  Of course, no spark is a good spark with regards to computer parts, but you could have shorted the connections without causing damage.  You'll just have to wait until your RAM gets in to confirm one way or the other.  How long will it be before you get your RAM?

next month i got some old DDR2 RAM here but i cant do that and i got no SSD or HDD 

 

and these were the pins that i had to hit these 2 were that i hit but i think i hit that 1 pin above it to were i put it off

 

and i just putted everything again together and it turns on i hope that everything is alright then but i have to see it next month than i should have everything

A spark would only happen from a negative to a positive pin, electricity doesn't flow any other way. A spark doesn't mean anything other than that the current jumped the air gap from the negative pin to the screwdriver. I'm almost certain you're fine if it was the power switch pin. The reason it sparked is likely because you touched the positive pin with the screwdriver before the negative.

If it has decent protection you should be fine. Might have to leave it unplugged for a minute or so though.

[suchamoneypit]

Just boot it up. If it does its fine, if it doesn't, it doesn't. There is no benefit of trying to figure out if it is broken now, the easiest and by far the quickest is to simply boot it up.

[WoodenMarker]

Don't worry about the spark from connecting front i/o pins. That happens now and then. If you stabbed the motherboard pcb however, that may be an issue.

how you mean unplugged?? and i think i got anough protection because its a TUF motherboard 

[Enderman]

the only way you will know that everything is ok is if you boot it up

That is just branding BS.

And I mean PSU not connected to the wall.

I hope for your sake it is tough, asus warranty is not great.

You won't get a definite answer until you try to boot with some ram.
