So I should remove the stick currently in the computer to look at all the specs?
I'll wait for tomorrow and anyone else's input here. [Reply]

I had an engineer buddy show me how to do my first build 5 years ago. I got a wrist band. He laughed at it. Touch the case to ground off and you’re good to go. [Reply]

This, I've put together so many rigs through the years and never used a band. Just ground yourself and your good to go. [Reply]

I never have. I just take off my shoes. But I've also fried a brand new processor as a result one time. We don't see a lot of static electricity out here. But Monsoon season started yesterday and there were dry thunderstorms in the valley. [Reply]
