Don't know if this is a problem or not

Ok, I was taking off my DuOrb to put on an Accelero S1 (tired of the noisy ass DuOrb). The DuOrb uses hex things with threads in the middle to go around the screws. I couldn't get them off with my hand and didn't have a wrench so i had to use needle nose pliers for some leverage. I accidentally broke off a couple of resistors (see pic), but the card seems to work just fine and ran Furmark full burn for 5 minutes with 32xAA and did not artifact or anything. My question is: will not having these damage anything? Am I slowly killing my computer here?

The resistors are in groups of two; I broke off one of the groups.

Pic too small... can't see... but yeah, their might be problems in the future..

It's two tiny little resistors near the PCIe connection.

We see what they are but the pic is too smal to give us any idea what pins they are connected too and weather or not it will cause an issue. But the simple answer is yes these must serve some purpose and it can't be a good thing running the card without them. So try to solder them back on or buy a new card. Wouldn't recomend continuing the use the card. For all we know those are not restiors but diod that could be preventing voltage fro the cards onboard connector from looping back into the motehrboard. If thats the case then using the card may damage the PCI-e slots.
