    well, you might be having a particularly dry winter. less moisture means electric charge is more likely to jump off your skin and onto metal around your house.

    you think an antistatic pad would help?

    i wrest my arm on my desk when I use my pc so if I could ground that then I should be fine right? I do have a grounded outlet plate next to me

    Is it cold right now where you live? static charge on the body is super common when the weather is colder, and happens all the time near metal objects. Especially if you walk around on carpet.

    Yes it is decently cold. however the reason Im worried is because I have never experienced this much static before, even in similar conditions, is it really possible that there is so much static to shock me within minutes of discharging? 

  3. Hi all, noticed recently that randomly if i touch the aluminum on my kb it shocks me, like static shock, i would say its static but the thing is I have been shocked repeatedly with a good bit of force into it. Im talking shocked, going to the bathroom and then it happens again, thing is once i get shocked It doesn't happen again, also seen me being shocked just by touching a grounded lightswitch, I could def see the static arc to the wall plate. Any possible theories? Could there be a grounding issue and I am getting static from some part of my pc, or am i really generating that much static to the point where it can happen repeatedly? 

    Thanks all

     

    another note, I am wearing shoes and am isolated from ground, any static i have is discharging to ground through the keyboard, would it be smart maybe to get an antistatic pad or something and attach it to the kb

    What are peoples objections to putting a PC on a long board that is laying on a carpeted floor?

    Obviously, with a power supply upside down in the bottom, and other issues regarding dust you don't want a PC on carpet.

    But I wanted to rotate my desk 90Degrees and the best possible way to make that fit would be by putting my PC on a long board, on carpet.

    Warnings?

    Bed risers work for me,

  5. I had a i7 8750h and I will tell you there is no fix. The only fix is to undervolt. What i did is go in throttle stop and changed the boost to 3.8 ghz. This made me only 70c under load.

    then i and many others have different experiences, i have some delta units that easily survive 10 years, from hp PC's

     

    cxm has whining issues, you'll notice with some more load

     

    but that's normal for a double forward dc-dc

    Yeah obv some SIs have better ones but i was just saying. And also obv theres gnna be some with that price range but much less than before.

    also wrong, good companies like hp, dell and acer care about your system, and want it to last because otherwise they have to do too many rma's or lose their reputation as a good builder. A lot of them are just enough for what's in it, but they are actually decent units

    Ok dude remember when I said recommend also thats not true from my experience. Prebuilt psus last till out of warrenty and then start dieing. Alot of those psus work but theyre not great. I had a friend complaining of coil whine on his gpu so I told him to buy a cx 650m which is the budget psu for 50$ instead of his prebuilt 650w one and wow his coil whine was almost unnoticeable. On a brand new system he just bought
