Did I Damage My Graphic Card?

[Fidelis K]

I installed a Zalman fan on my X850 Pro and hooked the fan cable in a silent
mode (5V). For some reason, the fan was not working and I didn't know that.
About a few minutes later, I realized that and hooked the fan cable in a
normal mode (12V) and the fan was working. So, my PC was running for a few
minutes with no GPU cooling. Is there a chance that I might have damaged the
X850 Pro? So far, I haven't noticed any graphical artifacts, though.

nah, if you ran some benchmarks or a intence 3D game maybe....i think your
allright here though.

It was, however, silent, as you wished.

Mine sounds like a vacuum cleaner. Stays cool, though. Heck, it's just white
noise.

There's always a chance of damage when something like that happens. I think
you're probably OK though. -Dave

did you let the smoke out? it's a real bitch to put it back in once it is
out.
