Possible anti-static prolem?

[ConTRo13R]

The chances of killing something from static are like 1 in a 100, but really you dont know whether mis-treating a component at the start of a build will decrease it the life of it over time

And is a £300 graphics card really worth that 1 percent?

Its just better to be safe than sorry

I agree

If a device receives an ESD charge, it might not fail immediately. This is the fact that the effects of ESD are not felt right away but over time get worse. This is known as hidden ESD.

Never once grounded myself in the hundreds of PC builds i've done, never had a single bad experience

Although you never can tell how much static will affect the lifetime of a component as time travel has yet to be invented but warranty's are good for a lot of components nowadays anyway

Some people do worry me though when they handle parts there becoming too relaxed
