DC electricity requires about 10,000 volts to arc a centimetre, so no significant arcing is going to occur at 1.4 odd volts. Also, good advice when dealing with electricity if you don't have gloves is only use one hand. That way the power will either pass through a couple of fingers or down the side of your body to ground. If you use two hands and bridge something the current can travel straight across your chest, and your heart happens to sit there. But nothing deadly is going to come out of a CPU socket.
+1 the risk of shock is almost nil
