Hey im thinking of upgrading my pc but just want to ask if i need a anti static wrist strap ???? plz help
I remember reading that the amount of discharge that is harmful to electrical components is below the threshold that causes your to feel an actual "zap". It's possible to damage equipment without even being aware of it.
I've never used one and built a ton of rig and change stuff in mine all the time. Most components are resistant to it nowadays. All I do is make sure I set stuff on a cardboard box or a antistatic bag. Never set anything directly on carpet.
In 16+ years building I have never used one... and never had an issue with anything.
This is the stupidest comparison I've seen in a while. You don't have the risk of getting run over by 1.5-2 ton machine while putting together a computer. Wear your helmet kids, it'll save your life, signed, a former EMT and soon to be physician.Never used an anti-static device in all my years. Learn to ground yourself properly and touch the metal case and you'll be fine. It's overrated like helmets on a bicycle. They aren't needed, but they can offer you protection nonetheless.
I just touch the PSU a bunch while working... I've used a strap before and it caused issues when working having to be tethered and working with a cord flopping around is a pain.

And I can vouch for a lot of them not growing up period because they were killed or inured to the point of being brain dead when having a helmet would have saved their lives.Ugh. It's a safety measure? Most people grew up without a helmet and did just fine.
But you can save lives. Again, let's get back to computers since you don't know what the hell you're talking about.Can't fix stupid drivers or stupid kids with a helmet.
