motherboard Is it safe?

[PrincessAlexis]

Hello LTTF, just wondering about this.

 

i have a motherboard and CPU, but I do not have a case yet.

 

i was wondering if I could place the CPU into the motherboard and place the motherboard back into its anti static bag/box. Will both components be safe?

Yeah, why wouldn't they be

Cardboard and wood are good options

But the antistatic bag it came in is probably better, but NEVER place any components on the outside of the static bag. It might damage the components.

 a bath full of distilled water would be the best bet

Oh goodness, I am terrible at reading haha I thought he meant in a test bench application not directly back in the bag haha Yeah youre right

What I meant was since I only have a MB and CPU, is it okay for me to store the CPU into the socket and place the board back into the anti-static bag then back into the box. Then place the box into my bag

do not use the anti-static bag for any powered on support.

just the mobo box is fine enough. some anti-static bags have actual traces and can short the device(s).

best to keep the parts apart until the system can be fully assembled and used. too many variables to damage.
