So I was changing the case fans, after I put everything back together, I forgot to plug in the power for the GPU. I turned the pc on and I saw the white LED on GPU power port lid up and heard the fan spins like crazy (I don’t know if it was the CPU fan or the GPU fans), I panicked and immediately turned off the power supply.
Everything happened in less than 2 seconds, I’ve run some stress tests and gamed for a few hours and nothing bad happened (yet?) so I assumed everything is still fine (for now?).
What happens if I had left it on like that for longer? And why did the fan ram up like that?
Do you have a source for that? I’ve only ever known integrated graphics to be part of the CPU.
Did I just step into the Twilight zone?
I just confirmed that you are correct, but I am positive that both of the mobos I bought in the last decade had graphics cards built into them. I have legitimately no idea how I’m only just learning that that’s not normal.
Thanks for letting me know
