No unpainted points on case for anti-static wrist strap

hazzac181 · Nov 18, 2014

Hello,
So as the title says looking for a place to put may anti-static wrist strap. Both my case and PSU are 100% painted (NZXT h440 & EVGA g2 850w).

Please provide useful answers only. I do not care if they are useful or not, I just want know where I should put it in this situation.

Find something metal and big. If you can't, just make do with the case.

Strap yourself to a radiator if there's one near you
Personally I just use cheap disposable latex gloves when building now - far less restrictive & work just as well at negating any problems regarding static

The use of the strap is to ground the ESD built up in YOU and not in the rig....
You don't need to connect the alligator clip to the case or the PSU, you need to connect the alligator clip to any metal that is already grounded, like the radiator or the metal pipes that run through the home or just a ground cable that comes through the earthing of the house.....

Hi
Fit the power supply first.
Plug the power supply in but leave it turned off.
Unscrew one of the power supply mounting screws half way.
Put crocodile clip on head of screw and rotate the clip a few times to scratch off any paint on the head of the screw.
Even if the screw is painted the fact that you have screwed it into the power supply will have scratched enough paint off the threads to make a good enough ground contact.
