Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Touching anything inside a modern computer is a good way to kill it with static electricity. Touching a heat sink is a good way to burn yourself.
    You can touch the graphics chip heat sink after
      - you have turned off power to the computer and left it off for several minutes
      - you have grounded yourself to dissipate the static charge on your body
      - you have arranged to do this in a room with adequate humidity.
