Actually it can. The bag is a faraday cage, so putting it on the outside can potentially kill the part. It isn't very likely though.

That's been debunked a million times. The outside is still non conductive. The actual anti static properties are over kill, you just need to have non conductive surfaces

You are incorrect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antistatic_bag

They must be conductive or they don't work. It's as simple as that.

Used to run push pull on my cpu cooler and dealt with tons of dust. After that vid I went to a pull setup and I have to clean much less.

The outside of anti-static bags are conductive.

Plastic generally not conductive

This type of plastic is engineered to be conductive on the outside.

And if you don't have proper mounting hardware, just use zip ties.

Linus is a horrible role model.

 

He uses Titan X's as motherboard stands. He should have used Quadros.

The tip he gave about using a pair of pliers to help turn a screwdriver was pretty good. I have very weak hands (I struggle to even open bottles of soda) so I think that tip will come in handy later on.

How do you have weak hands? lol wat.

Most of my posts are very controversial, please try not to get butthurt.
