How do i get my GPU safely Grounded from ESD?

Hello,
i didnt knew that you had to avoid the card from getting static electricity, so i worked on a REAL furry materlial with the card while applying new Thermal paste! :S

so gow do i ground the GPU?

P.S. i live in the EU ; so theres only 2 outputs and no grounding, so just pluggging the pc in for 15minutes wont work!!

where is the EU? no grounding is just silly there has to be 3 wires. If you want to ground yourself touching a tap will work as the water pipes go to the ground. I assume you have running water/plumbing in EU?

Recently yeah, big improvement. :lol: We do have a lot of things you put the cable in on the wall and i really can't remember the English name for that have two wires, blue and brown, only in kitchen and shed and stuff there are three. ( maybe put your pc in the kitchen first :lol: )

Grounding the gpu now is not necassery. If it recieved to much static it's allreay gone, if not putting it in your pc will remove any last remains ( if possible at all )


Wall Sockets, thats it !
