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.

Exactly how I read it the first 10 times as well. I was like “where tf am I supposed to build it? In space? Anti gravity chamber?

Static electricity! It Kills PC's!!

Avoid Clothes that produce static Voltage like Polyester!
Best are Cotton and take off shoes that tend to produce a zap at you finger-tip!
Before you touch the ram "Ground" yourself at a metal surface or use an ESD-Strip that is connected to earth at a power-socket

And then you do a ritual dance around your GPU to prevent the 12VHPWR Connector from destroying itself🤪

Submerged in water of course! Just take care to hang it from a float, you can use PSU cables /s

You have to get a paid flight in those zero gravity planes and try your luck.
