I accidentally touched my GTX 1660 GPU while it was on, and I felt a small shock. I'm worried that this could hurt my GPU. Is there any risk to my GPU after this happened?

Yes, it should be alright as long as there aren't any noticeable issues. But make sure your PC is properly earthed just to be safe!

Hey, if it shocked you, just give it a test by touching it again! Just kidding! Seriously though, it’s probably nothing to worry about, but double-check that your setup is grounded.

That was probably just static electricity messing with you. Most likely, your GPU is okay. Just be cautious in the future when touching components while the system is powered on!

It sounds like you might have experienced a small static electricity shock. As long as your system is properly grounded—meaning the outlet it's plugged into has a ground—your GPU should be fine. If everything is still running smoothly and you're not noticing any performance issues, you shouldn't worry too much about it.
