Place it on the deep-pile carpet? Probably not.
If I had warranty then yeah no problem. Without a warranty then probably still yeah.
The only time a graphic card has died on me on a carpet was when I stood on my ti4200 thirty minutes after buying it
. Snapped off a few parts and the fan took a few components too. It was a nightmare as I was young and skint but hilarious to think about now

P.s. doing this yourself is not like someone else doing it to your gear, I prefer not to do it at all, be safe get a tractor tube if you go to Tai Land...err disregard last bit.

Carpet like that is rather risky for electronics due to the abundance of static electricity to discharge which would quickly render a very expensive video card into a very expensive video card-shaped paperweight.I don't get it?
