10 Things NOT to do while u work inside your CPU.

Ok! My friend was handling his CPU the other day, he wanted to insert more ram modules.He opened it as usual and peeked inside.The power was off and he touches the gpu and guess what happens ?

His GPU gets fried by static...w0000t..thats a bummer ! LOL

Ok so Ill give u some important tips on handling your CPU:

1)NEVER...never eat while handling your hardware components..I would wonder which dumbass would be so stupid to eat and drink while handling components.Food particles or liquid would (**BY MISTAKE** or if u want to kill your pc purposely) enter you pc and Pwssshh..

2)Please wear an ANTI-STATIC wrist band....this is the most safest way to handle components...
You lower the risk of getting static while handling .Even if you handle your parts without using a anti-static band and u dont feel anything ? believe ME it gets an amount of static and then your hardware degrades.You will come 2 a point where BSODs will start showing up.

3)Never touch parts in your pc while the CPU is running..You are in risk of getting shock or a jolt.( I got it once .... w000t ).

4)Never pull your parts out in force...I mean come ON man ?!@ You paid for that piece of hardware and if it doesnt come out then try slowly or there must be a way to remove it . ( Refer to motherboard or case manuals )

5)Never expose your CPU to Cold Air or Humid Conditions....Static builds up with more humidity or cold.Try keeping your room nice and pleasant or warm but do not open your windows fully in winter . ( You can open your windows in winter if your case is closed ).

6)Make sure you clean your CPU after every 6 months on using it...Dust collects and builds up inside and clogss the fan...if you dont trust me go see for yourself.
To clean your CPU ..Get a can of compressed air or you could always use a hairdrying ( with cold blower).BTW while using the compressed air ...spray it once or twice on a cloth to check for any liquid particles ..

7) If you cant afford an anti-static wrist band then try holding the psu at the back of your cpu or hold the CPU case frame so that the static passes and circulates.
Remmember always hold ure hardware components by the edges and not like a freakin CARD or sumthing...

Well thats it. I hope this was interesting.
