Power Cable

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Hi guys.
I was doing a little cable management, and I had to remove my GTS250's two 6-pin molex power cables while doing it. And after I was done, I reconnected them. Computer was on and folding the whole time. Shouldn't have harmed my 250, right? Just curious if I harmed my 250. I don't think I did, but just to be sure.

If it is still working fine then you will have no issues with it. Since you are folding and seen no issues then I would honestly think it is stable. Thanks

While it may not have been damaged, it is not a good idea to play around inside your rig while it is powered, not to mention, FOLDING.

Next time, power it down, and THEN do the cable management.

I kno, bad idea. But I just didn't notice it was on because it's always on. So it's not damaged? Whew. I realized that the PC was on the whole time about 15 mins after I closed the side panel. Stupid of me.

Alright. Thanks smile.gif My GPU load level should be in the high 90s when folding GPU&SMP, right?
