Okay, this is my first PC build.
First things first, I'm very paranoid about destroying my parts with static. I have read topics about a band, but I have decided not to use that. So, my house is tiled, and I plan on working with the PC on a wooden, lacquered surface. Would this be safe?
Another thing I'm afraid of is applying the thermal paste. I've read that applying a small dot is better than spreading it, but if let's say some bubbles appear, what happens next?
There's probably much more things I'm paranoid about but that's all that I can think of. Thanks for the help!
Also uh, does frying the component with static completely void the warranty, forcing me to re-buy the component?
