Power Supply question

ahmad01000 · Jun 16, 2014

Please don't call me stupid for I am a first time builder. Can you break your power supply by touching it and giving it a static discharge.

As with all electronic components, there can be issues with static discharge. When the PSU is not grounded, there are a few components that may not be able to handle the discharge. However, of all the components, I'd say the PSU is the most robust.

The answer there is an unequivocal "NO", you cannot damage any of the internals of a (properly built) PSU from external static - the chassis of the PSU is isolated from the electronics within (it could be dangerous otherwise)
