Hi
I am currently building my pc. I have used my PSU to test a few components.
I used it outside the case last night, connected a few fans to test the fans. And because I on and off the PSU, i get a small static or electric shock from the PSU. This happens when i touch a metal part of the PSU, not the plastic switch itself.
Tonight i run the pump for water cooling to circulate the water, this time i touch the screw connected to the pump and i get the same electric shock or static what ever you call it. My wife who is helping me touched the case on a separate occasion and got a small shock/static too.
The PSU is a super flower 1200W platinum. Can i ask how and why this shock happens. Is it dangerous and will it damage my components and how do you get rid of this from happening
?
TY and cheers
PS: sometimes on some other electrical appliances you may get the same thing.
