Building PC today, quick question

[CrazinCS]

I don't have a wrist strap or whatever it's called, should I build it barefoot? And about touching metal, is a radiator fine? (the heaters placed on walls etc)

 

Thanks!

No reason to, on both questions. The system is going in your case, touch the case.

Also touch the psu every so often when it's fitted into the case.

 

And also keep your hands clean, keep pets away. Generally sensible stuff.

I've always just touched the case whenever I've upgraded my PC and never had a single problem.

I use the PSU method, never in my life I've used a wrist band. Just plug your PSU into the wall while it's turned off and put it in your case, touch it from time to time and that's it. Of course use common logic and keep the basic precautions like being careful with the screwdriver.

Make sure you strip yourself nekkid because your clothes can cause static.

 

Wear no socks and wash your hands clean because we know you did the dirty before building.

 

Jokes aside, just make sure you wash your hands and stay away from carpet. When installing the CPU and CPU cooler onto the heatsink, use the motherboard box and wrap as your table.
