Building on PC, using magnetic screwdriver

I'm going to be replacing my PSU and my motherboard sometime soon, and I was wondering if it is okay to do this with an interchangeable magnetic screwdriver. There's basically a long magnetic stick, and all the tips that you can put on it are magnetic aswell, so I was worried about this. Would it be a problem considering that it is more magnetic than your average magnetic screwdriver? Or will it still be too weak to do any sort of damage?

You will be fine. If you really want to be careful just keep it away as much as you can from your HDD

It takes quite a strong magnetic force to alter data on hdd platters. Nothing else in a pc is susceptible to magnetic forces.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
