My friend and I installed my watercooling on a case a few weeks ago although the case wasnt as good as I thought. So I bought a new one and returned the old one. Although, I guess during installation or uninstalltion of the water cooling i scratched my video card without me knowing it and Im really nervous that it wont work once i boot it up again. BTW its an ati all in wonder 9800 pro so it aint cheap.

If your video card actually looks like the picture... yea, it's farqed :p.

Computer parts are amazingly resiliant. You won't know if you don't try it! Throw some extra thermal grease on it or something...

But you've already taken off the heatsink and *voided* it... if it doesn't work, put it back on and get real dumb when you send it back.
 
i thought i was still drunk from lastnight looking at that picture, jeez...

anyways, from what i can see it looks like you just scratched the PCB, nothing to worry about.

and omy.. that's alot of thermal paste on the gpu
 
Ha ha yeh i know i forgot to clean it. I will remove it dont worry and thanks for brining the good news.
