“Intel recommends an anti-static mat and a grounding wrist strap when installing a processor to avoid the danger of static electricity, also known as Electrostatic Discharge or ESD.1”
You know back when I built my computers, not once did I ever use any kind of static electricity discharge “system”. No wrist strap, no mat, no anything. And I don’t know anybody who did.
Has anybody ever actually destroyed a chip with static electricity?
(Of course it could be the climate I lived in as well)
