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?
It’s not the CPU that contains the integrated graphics, it’s the mobo. Do you know what mobo you use?
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
