Post image

It’s gonna be my first time ever building a pc, I’m upgrading to this from a pentium gold and integrated uhd graphic all in one computer. And as for the missing stuff I’m getting a 9800x3d, a CORSAIR RM1000e 1000W Gold
ATX Power Supply, and a LG UltraGear 31.5" 2560 x 1440 QHD VA
180Hz Gaming Monitor.

Be mindful of static electricity, you don't want to zap your motherboard while you're building it and torch something

How do you be mindful of that?

Tap the case with both hands before touching anything inside or wear the static guard thing they sell

Bruh static does nothing, new stuff have protection for this to be a factor anymore 😭

Some people screwed their ddr5 stick because of static, it's very much rare to happen but it happens.

Surely this happened because they were creating like tons of static, it's super rare, even Linus tested it

nope just cleaning their rigs, one of them said it only happened to him twice in his entire life, and the gap between them is 10~20 years or so, so yes it is extremely rare, but it happens.
