I had an engineer buddy show me how to do my first build 5 years ago. I got a wrist band. He laughed at it. Touch the case to ground off and you’re good to go.

I never have. I just take off my shoes. But I've also fried a brand new processor as a result one time. We don't see a lot of static electricity out here. But Monsoon season started yesterday and there were dry thunderstorms in the valley.

The only time I've ever worn a wrist strap is when I'm in a data center.

I mean honestly just seat the ram right and dont be scared to push down, you will be scared at first.
But out of all the computers components RAM can take abuse (DONT ACTIVELY ABUSE IT) Also depending on configuration of your unit (1x16gb stick or 2x8gb) if you only have two DIMs it will be easy. If you have 4 you need to make sure its in the right channel. Dont worry tho your computer will tell you right away if you ****ed up with either LED lights or Beeping. |
