Hey guys,
I recently swapped my 7970 out for a 780, so I had my 7970 sitting ontop of my desk. I was going away for a couple days and didn't want it to leave it exposed, so I went to the store to get some static bags. Turns out they weren't wide enough to fit in the card, so I just laid them ontop (the outside touching the pcb. Unfortunately, I read up after that static bags keep the charge on the outside, so I'm scared I damaged my card. But I installed my 780 already so I don't want to plug it in to test it out. Is there some way that I can tell that I shorted it?
Thanks!
