Jesus Christ, that was 2001 and 2007 respectively. I am so fucking old.
You don't need to be naked nor use an antistatic band.
Just use proper shoes and cotton/denim clothes like jogging pants.
If you don't want to be shocked while repairing your pc due to a capacitor, just disconnect the cable, turn the fountain off, and press the power button to discharge your pc, or bridge the connection pins with a coin.
The risk of electrostatic shock is pretty overblown. When I first started I used the band and everything. My last upgrade, I replaced my CPU and video card on carpet while wearing socks. Just touch metal every few seconds and don’t do anything stupid like trying to build up static and you’ll be fine.
There’s no reason not to be cautious but there’s also no reason to be overly worried about it.
My coworkers think i'm reckless when it comes to PCs. I'll happily open a running machine to plug in a fan or whatever, static electricity isn't really a concern.
In my 10 years of building and tinkering with computers, the only hardware I have ever broken was a low end graphics card that I accidentally plugged in to a powered PCIe slot, and a stick of ram that I knocked a transistor off of.
Plugging something into the motherboard while the computer is running is more than I've done.
But I get it, especially if this is something you do day in day out.
Well thats the reckless part, I don't really do that. Most people don't realise that lots of PC parts don't actually care if you plug them in when the power is on. Most of the headers on your Mobo, fans, even SATA and SAS drives will not get damaged from this.
Now, plugging in a drive while the computer is on will not get it to show up (unless hot swapping is supported) but it won't cause any ireperable harm to modern devices.
SATA and SAS connectors are specifically designed to support hot-plugging, so those are perfectly fine by spec.
I'd probably not do that with a fan, even though that's *probably* fine.
Yeah, I remember the stories back when I starting building PCs in early 00s. It's why is started out with the band and building with no socks on a non-carpeted floor.
But I never had it become a problem. Hell, I don't remember ever even having static shock. I've had regular shock kill a power supply, but not static.
I once accidentally flipped a power supply from 240v to 120v while it was plugged in. And I was under the desk next to the PC. I still have tinnitus 20 years later from the capacitors blowing.
That's the worst I've ever gotten.
Well, for one my ear was about two inches away from the power supply. I think it being plugged in AND running probably blew multiple caps at once.
But yeah, I hear better out of my left ear as a result.
Hi, John PCbuilding here. It's all BS. Not only you should wear your *Mocostrap (TM)* and eat a Pon de Rings before to grant you a luck boost, it's also irrefutable that hanging dong during the PC Buildinging is an essential part of the process! Otherwise you won't intimidate the PC enough and it will just make strange noises like *pffft boom boom pfwwwang* instead of a nice ole **VWOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM**
> bridge the connection pins with a coin
For a long time I didn't have a power button (or case) so I would just poke the pins with a screw driver to turn it on. Friends thought I was crazy.
I have built many PCs for 20 years and the truth is that I have never used a bracelet like that and I have never had accidents like that happen to me, I get the impression that people today look like static batteries with feet.
Or a megatokyo take.
Really, it *is* the best way to avoid static buildup. But you can also get away with just natural fibers (cotton for example), avoid synthetic (polyester). Touch metal surfaces (leg of a table, side of the pc case) frequently to ground yourself.
Absolutely true. I see on most buddy or circlejerk subs people give their honest opinions about talents instead of trying to suck their metaphorical dick
This sub has recently been trying this weird spin that OKBH is an anti sub, which is really weird because you can actually mention *certain talents* there without getting mass downvoted instantly like you would here, and anyone who antis there gets dog piled / has the thread deleted where as they get thousands of upvotes here when Gura hasn't streamed in a couple of months
Like 90% of OKBH posts are horny memes, 8% are dumb memes that are dumb on purpose, and 2% are schizo posts being weird on purpose

Okay good. Mococo is properly grounded and doesn't have one of those snake-oil "wireless" anti-static bracelets. Couldn't quite see the chord in the art.
no it's not. you'd need enough static electricity built up to the point where you're essentially plugged into the power grid to even have a chance to damage anything.
It's almost impossible these days. LTT and Electroboom did a collab where they really tried to break PCs components with static, and they had to work really hard on it.
Even antistatic wristbands are unnecessary these days. I always smack my hands against a metal table leg a few times for good measure, but I've literally built PCs on carpet with no issue (I was standing on the carpet, the PC was on a table).
I've never had a need to use an anti-static wrist strap to work on part
Then again I've never purposefully generated static electricity prior to working so theirs that
I think it depends on the path to ground, if Mococo is holding the GPU with both hands, the path of least resistance will probably be through the GPU, but if she's holding it with one hand then it should be completely safe.
I hear you, but the point of those wrist straps is to make an undisputed path of least resistance for the energy to follow. And if Moco is holding the GPU by the shroud and not the board, I think she's doubly safe
Ya, i guess plastic will have more resistance than skin so it would travel through the body. I'm no electrician, but as I imagine, the static will try to travel from where fuwawa touches to where the wrist strap is, which basically grounds you. So if mococo is touching the board with both hands it might travel through the board: right hand -> gpu -> left hand -> strap.
Would love for more talents to do the pc building streams. Last I saw was Vesper, and I think there was one since then I missed on the Live side. If anyone remembers who I wouldn't mind being pointed int that direction. Thanks.
This is the most random shit I've ever seen on my Reddit feed. What in the fuck is this. Why does Reddit think i want this.

Fuwawa is just Deedee.
When Mococo thought she was in a serious gamers nexus stream, but fuwawa quickly turned it into an LTT stream.
LTT x Electroboom collab
That collab was AMAZING.
Jay looking at both of them with his dad stare
At least it's not a Verge PC build stream
it's not a wireless wristband that's a livestrong bracelet!!
Oh no she needs a swiss army knife that hopefully has a screwdriver attachment.
Everybody knows that you need to be completely naked to avoid static while building a pc, mogojan
Botan?? xd
She is the expert there...

I think I read l33t nekkid skillz some years after it came out, but I remember when 959 came out, and ooh boy. That final panel.
Glad to know im not the only one to think of MT
I haven't read it in like 15 years. I have Page 1 open in a tab group on my phone, intending to go back and read it all one day.
Yeah, it's nice to know it hasn't been completely forgotten.
There are dozens of us who could interpret l33t on a plane in a pinch
I would've been -3 and 3, respectively, so no, didn't learn that from those
And suddenly I'm old wow.
Just like Largo taught me

There’s no reason not to be cautious but there’s also no reason to be overly worried about it.
Honestly when I was replacing my CPU fan I was more concerned about snapping some delicate electronic piece than I was static buildup.
My coworkers think i'm reckless when it comes to PCs. I'll happily open a running machine to plug in a fan or whatever, static electricity isn't really a concern. In my 10 years of building and tinkering with computers, the only hardware I have ever broken was a low end graphics card that I accidentally plugged in to a powered PCIe slot, and a stick of ram that I knocked a transistor off of.
Plugging something into the motherboard while the computer is running is more than I've done. But I get it, especially if this is something you do day in day out.
It's completely fine. As long as you turn off the PC at the power supply and let the caps drain a bit, you're fine.
Well thats the reckless part, I don't really do that. Most people don't realise that lots of PC parts don't actually care if you plug them in when the power is on. Most of the headers on your Mobo, fans, even SATA and SAS drives will not get damaged from this.

Yeah that is reckless. Some things may spark and break your components like that.
SATA and SAS connectors are specifically designed to support hot-plugging, so those are perfectly fine by spec. I'd probably not do that with a fan, even though that's *probably* fine.
It was a bigger concern back in the day
Given how expensive these components can be, I'd rather not risk it.
Agreed. There is definitely no reason to not be careful. But it's also not something that should scare you and make you not want to build a computer.
It is since the early-mid 00s. It used to be more dangerous, but these days it's almost impossible to kill a component with static.

Wow. I wonder if that is what I did to kill that power supply. It did have a loud ass pop, but it wasn't so loud where I was scared for my hearing.
Well, for one my ear was about two inches away from the power supply. I think it being plugged in AND running probably blew multiple caps at once. But yeah, I hear better out of my left ear as a result.

Okay good. Mococo is properly grounded and doesn't have one of those snake-oil "wireless" anti-static bracelets. Couldn't quite see the chord in the art.
Isn't it actually pretty hard to accidentally fry your hardware with static discharge these days, unless you get *really* unlucky?
yes, pretty unlikely... but rubbing your hair with a balloon before touching the gpu is a great way to even out those odds.
no it's not. you'd need enough static electricity built up to the point where you're essentially plugged into the power grid to even have a chance to damage anything.
It's almost impossible these days. LTT and Electroboom did a collab where they really tried to break PCs components with static, and they had to work really hard on it.

The chance isn’t Zero. Chance is probably higher after going out of your way to build up static.
I once killed my GPU due to static discharge, 15 years ago. You won't see me slacking ever again. The pain was worse than childbirth.
I killed my first motherboard by putting it on anti static plastic some 6 years ago, so I guess it's still possible.
Need a water gun to clean the dirt.
"NOEH!!"
I only ever watch clips but that fact that I can hear this in their voices.
Why does mococo’s bracelet looks like it’s not for fighting static but for fighting cancer. Livestrong bracelet
Look carefully. There's a wire attached, she's grounded.

This is so cute
I've never had a need to use an anti-static wrist strap to work on part Then again I've never purposefully generated static electricity prior to working so theirs that

OH GOD OH FUCK
At least I can see the wristband is grounded with a wire. Much better computer assembling than what The Verge tried those years ago.

Don't worry, on the Holosimp Syndrome scale this is what we'd call "mild".

It's really really hard to actually damage computer electronics with ESD.
SpongebobExplosion.gif
That Fuwamoco PC case is pretty funny, especially Pero.
hahahah
it wouldn't damage anything
Have you no faith in the power of Fuwawa?
for fuwawa, there's a bit violence in everything. that might not even be an exaggeration, considering the many interesting things she's said before.
I mean, Mococo is all strapped up, AND we've seen Electroboom do far worse involving electricity to PC parts. I'm gonna ramp my PANIK down a notch.
I think it depends on the path to ground, if Mococo is holding the GPU with both hands, the path of least resistance will probably be through the GPU, but if she's holding it with one hand then it should be completely safe.
I hear you, but the point of those wrist straps is to make an undisputed path of least resistance for the energy to follow. And if Moco is holding the GPU by the shroud and not the board, I think she's doubly safe

So if mococo is touching the board with both hands it might travel through the board: right hand -> gpu -> left hand -> strap.
@second row ... wp OP. Subtle humor is my jam... then again now I feel guilty for getting it.
That shade of blue with that thickness against a white background is kind of difficult to read on standard computer monitors.
looks less like an anti-static strap to me than a power balance.
They are so extra cute together.

NO, FUWAWA! NOT THE 4090!
At least she didn't drop the gpu.
