Stop putting your dick on your CPU anon

Good luck fren you broke the shit out of your CPU and now will have to buy a new one.

wrong

what else are you supposed to touch it with? your feet?

>>105711568 (OP)
You're supposed to autoclave it first and apply sterile thermal paste inside of a laminar flow hood

>>105711618
>using your dirty feet
You use your dick obviously. I mean why do you think women never do it? Come on anon, it's not rocket science.

preferable only on the edges
mostly avoid touching the pins/pads, you don't want to bend or get oil on them
prefer not to touch the top for the same reason but it is easier to clean and probably wont even noticeably affect cooling

>>105711618
You need to be properly grounded with static resistant clothing and wearing gloves. Otherwise you WILL fuck your CPU.
There is absolutely no way around it, the amount of electricity that flows from your fingers to the ground from nerves and muscle twitches is enough to DESTROY a CPU on contact.
If you don't already know this I strongly suggest you contact your doctor and ask for Response To Intervention testing.

This nigga thinks the CPU is made out of NAND.

pc safety is a meme
expensive ass things wont blow up when you touch them wrong

I have touched hardware hundreds of times and nothing bad happened yet, but I must say I always touched the heater before I touch hardware.

>>105712055
this

my CPU has a bent pin and i'm never going to fix it because unscrewing and screwing the fan back in is so cringe

>>105713675
are there any issues?

>>105712055
same without the heater

>>105713772
yes the GPU doesn't utilize the whole lane or whatever it's called so it performs less efficiently but I dont care that much because i still get good fps

>>105711568 (OP)
just do it barefoot >< kyaaaa

>>105711568 (OP)
I don't know

>>105711568 (OP)
just touch your case or something metal first

dumb frognigger
>>>/g/sqt

>>105712055
Same.

Except I don't intentionally ground myself. And I work on things right on my carpet. (I do try to keep the components off the carpet.)

I hope you didn't get any thermal paste on your fingers
Because if you did, you have less than 24 hours

>>105719993
uh, dont you just wipe it off and then wash your hands with cold water?

'ick on 'U

I apply thermal paste with my fingers after cleaning my hands and there's nothing you can do about it

>>105713675
i dropped a cpu once an there was a bent pin, I just straightened it with a knife and it just works. I cringe at the redditfags thinking you will destroy a cpu for looking at it

>>105720946
what cpu was it?

>>105720954
I don't remember, it was an intel from 6 years ago

>>105720957
damn. i wonder if higher end or lower end cpus are sturdier

>>105721005
my brother is still using the same cpu, he plays AAA games for hours without rest and the CPU is working flawlessly. CPUs are very though, the pins are just metal as long as they fit the socket they work.

Why even bother cleaning your hands? the oils from your skin will increase the thermal capacity of the paste

>>105711568 (OP)
Grease your fingers for higher resistance
