Hello,
I recently bought a anti-static wrist strap that has one end that I can put on my wrist and the other end is an alligator clip.
First of all, I'm going to be building my PC on a wooden floor.
The main issue that I'm concerning is that I'm planning on connecting my CPU to my motherboard BEFORE it goes into the case. So where should I connect my alligator clip? Will it still work if I clip it onto the chassis that will be beside it and also on the wooden floor (It's not connected to any PSU ground btw)? Even though it is not grounded by the PSU to the wall outlet, it's still on the wooden floor so doesn't that count as grounding?
I'm not sure where to connect the alligator clip if I'm going to work on connecting my CPU on my motherboard while it is still out of the chasis.
Also, where should I lay the motherboard on? The wooden floor that I'm working on? Or on the anti-static bag that it comes with?
Thank you a lot!
JJ
