Even some of the popular youtube builders have their whole hand across the front of the mobo and flip it over to place the CPU cooler bracket on the back of the mobo, then flip it back over with their whole hand across the back of the mobo.
I have read that even if grounded to avoid static the oils in our skin will shorten the life of the parts on the mobo our skin touches, etc...
I read that the PC build may work fine for a while then possibly fail prematurely if you have handled the mobo carelessly brushing you fingers across the mobo, etc...
I just got an RMAd mobo and CPU replaced, first defective items in 11 years, but after reading all that I am so scared and paranoid that I am going to screw something up by accidentally touching or brushing my finger against something.
I wear the anti static band so I am grounded, but I have never had an issue before in 11 years.
Do I need to be scared if my fingertip touches anything other than the plastic edge of a mobo, or are the warnings just so you will be very careful when building?
I am paranoid enough with trying to avoid static electricity, but now I have to worry about premature failure if any skin touches any part of the mobo, or any other electronics, etc?
About ready to pay extra to have it put together
Thank you for any help.
