this might sound like a stupid question, but i often use the touch method to determine how well a component is doing.
what i wanna know is hav any of u guys ever damaged a component by touching it - i mean, has the oil and salt and lunch leftovers on your fingers ever caused it to short circuit like when touching the back of a graphics card pcb above the gpu?
ive only once ever shocked myself on a mobo. it was an old intel and the 16mb onboard graphics card was OC'ed from 100mhz to 550mhz with no cooling whatsoever - crazy, i know, but i got it an its 64mb pc100 and celeron 450mhz to run AVP2. it took 45mins to load though. i was just checking to make sure everything's still going strongly, or at least going when WHAM!!! got a huge fright. can u believe it, that pc is still going but having probs picking up the Ram module and only one of the two memory slots work.
(i dunno where to put this thread)
