Hello,
I'm going to build a new rig for the first time and I'm a bit confused about how to ground myself propperly (I don't want to fry my CPU with an electro-static discharge):
I've been reading about some ways to ground yourself and if I undestood it well, the safest method is attaching an anti-static wrist strap to the psu or anything that is already grounded.
But I don't own an anti-static wrist strap so, if I mount the psu into the case, I switch it off and then I plug it and I put the case on the floor and I keep one bare foot in contact with the metal of the case... would it be the same as using the wrist strap?
Assuming that I'm always in contact with the case, which I suppose to be grounded.
Thanks.
