Grounding

DiscoNeverDies · January 14

Okay so this topic has been discussed a million times, but grounding yourself with a PSU. People say to just touch it every so often, but what if you just put it on the floor and rest your foot on it like a cool guy? Wouldn't that just keep you constantly grounded and not have to worry?

Sure that's fine, but just for clarification, we are clear that you have to touch something conductive (bare metal), and if you are using your "foot" you shouldn't be wearing socks or shoes. Touching the "painted" surface of a PSU isn't going to help much.

And that the PSU needs to be plugged in, to a grounded outlet. I did forget to add that key piece of information. Not powered on, just plugged in.
