during finding out about upgrading my HDD which you on here have helped, i found a number of videos on youtube and the person in the video was handling computer circuit boards, in particular the motherboard, and wearing a type of anti static strap so that he was grounded saying that it's important when handling circuit boards but never said why it was important, anyone know the reasons? |

| Static electricity, that can build up on your body, is harmful to computer components. Wearing the anti-static strap gives the electricity a path to ground away from any components. If you have ever gotten a shock from a motor car after getting out and touching the door that is from static electricity.

| Because static electricity can kill a component. Be it a motherboard, dimm or graphics card.

| this is also why some if not most motherboards come with a spring that touches the case to ground it
