Small spark

Hey All!

Just received the parts to build my first gaming pc. I was testing the parts to see if they post (they do!). However, when I was shorting the power pins with a screwdriver, I noticed a small spark. Is this normal? Are my components damaged? I shorted it again and it posted fine so is this something I should be worried about?

 

Thanks,

 

Tissue ☺

Yup, it's normal. It's fine, of course, since it's normal.
