Just how dangerous is static electricity to your PC? Are ESD wrist bands just a "big tech" scam, or are they a necessity to protect your much-loved gaming rig? Linus and ElectroBOOM investigate.

Can static KILL your PC? (ft. Electroboom)
30 231 Áhorf 3 m.
Hey, if you even need more SHOCKING tests, just give me a call!! It was a fun day!
ello
Lol you are crazy
@Linus Tech Tips e
You have no idea how long i was waiting for this co-lab
Hello
Killed my laptop =‘[
2:22 This is what happened when you go to supermarket like this.
This is just 20 minutes of two idiot shocking theirselves.
This fills me with confidense that I won't ruin my computer, easily.
Ah, I finally found Michael Reeves' dad
Can we have more of these torturing Linus videos pretty please?
So the apple watch was just fine???
lol this was actually fun to watch
"Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover event in history!" LTT & ElectroBoom: "Hold our beers!"
i feel like Electroboom is just a sadist at this point
XD this is the best episode of LTT i've seen in a long time!
Most of the views are people just wanting to see electro boom and Linus get hurt from static
OW MY MAC SHOCK ME AS I WAS WATCHING THIS
Do all rams are like that?
This collab was not only what we wanted, but what we needed.
You dont have to got lucky to not kill it ...you got to have luck to kill it!
Robot dildo, isn't that all dildo's?
Can you guys do a video about opening psus, how dangerous is it to open them to clean them or replace a fan? Are the capacitors as deadly as the internet says they are?
Cringe?
never seen two people so happy to kill an innocent grandfather's age RAM
MeDhI
"sadge" fucking sent me
Hi Linus, There are 2 types of ESD damage direct and Latent. Most ESD damage is latent damage, this means the trace (data line) will carry the signal but will degarde over time (weeks , months or years). This is the worst type damage in the electronics manufacturing industry as the life of the device is reduced and results in a warranty claim and a negative experience for the end user. I would always advise to take sensible ESD precautions when working on electronics. An ESD wrist strap is the best solution or in a pinch leaving your PSU connected to the wall socket (assuming its earthed) while working on the machine and grounding yourself on the chassis before handling components. ispulse.info/video/xoq5hoadn6Vqm2s.html&ab_channel=HoffmannGroup
Linus "so you're lucky if it doesn't kill the ram"....linus later "did we get lucky when we killed it"?
its a miracle that Electroboom is even alive at this moment
19:33 ahh, editors... great sense of humour as always
This is a huge issue if you're working an environment with very dry air and a lot of stuff that builds up static. If you're working on something in your living room the chance is much lower.
This man drops Sponcers better than ltt
The greatest Crossover 😂
I love how they wore mask throughout the video. Follow their example and stay safe.
The draconian degree unsurprisingly grin because fighter cosmetically spare beyond a frightened frightening full fumbling functional detective. nimble, tidy dogsled
I absolutly didnt expect de same dell case and probably the same internals as the one we still have. Made it fuctions again after it had startup issues and been resting for 4 years. Its now running as a audio recorder to digitise old tapes. Fun facts, 350w powersupply AMD Radean 4850 (2008 july release) Intel I7-920 (Costa Rica) 6 sticks of RAM 1gb each
I've been waiting for this collab...
Did anyone notice that in the very begining when electroboom increased the freq in tesla coil, the ubuntu login screen on dumb computer start doing something ??? Watch at 0:51
Comment of shame - destroyed my motherboard by installing (more accurately failing to install) an AIO water cooler on carpet. Please, everyone, work on tile with a grounding strap, don't be like me.
What are those things on their faces?
The best colab ever
8:38 tutorial on how to kill a PC
Best video ever!!! Loved it very entertaining
That computer might actualy be an optiplex, that wold explain the resistance to such torture.
You get my like for testing this on a Linux machine. Fun testing by the way, I never thought hardware would be so hard to kill!
That was absolutely FANSTATIC ! 🤣
That explains why DDR2 ram are costly than DDR3 ram
12:56 the way he looks at the camera XD
I have been building my own computers for over a decade, the most grounding I do is touch the case once in a while. Never had a problem. Just don't wear socks ;p
You guys are so full of energy!
ITBETTERBEDEADNOWDAMNIT
Take the mask off for fucks sake, that’s cringe as hell
The awesome bed phenomenologically spare because bookcase immunochemically grease between a amusing archer. obese, glistening glorious organisation
such synchronized screaming at 9:14
Is this guy and Micheal Reeves relatives? :D
this episode is the most “arghhh””auchhh””ahhhh”episode i have ever seen in LTT😂
Oh hey it's the electric guitar guy from that Tumblr post a few years ago.
Der deutsche Untertitel-Autor hatte Spaß, oder? (The german caption-author had a bit of fun, right?) 0:24: "brandneuen Kotze" (-> brand new puke)
Why is the "dil*o" part not bleeped
Look at Linus' hair lmao in the mid of the vid
19:33 dat motion
Never used any grounding never got a dead ram...
@bunkerhousing read the title
It does not necessarily die..
16:30 he loves S&M
This was fun
BULLSHIT.. after years of building, repairing and testing hundreds of PCs and refusing to wear the stupid strap
Is this the crossover that we need? of course yeah
Isn't saying "ESD discharge" like saying "ATM machine"?
Could be worse. I once heard a guy say "pounds of PSI per square inch"
i didnt know this guy but i like him
Why are two healthy ppl wearing masks? It doesn't make sense.....they seem pretty smart but I dunno
Nobody is asking if his Apple Watch still works? 😂
Shock therapies does work...
Wearings masks yet making contact lmao
It looks really hard to break electronics with human touch ESD. Maybe it's because the cheap electronics don't have small enough circuitry to be as vulnerable? Good protective design and grounding? Perhaps what they taught me in college about ESD on old computers just isn't as relevant to today, but I'd still take precautions just because the parts I want to use today are expensive.
How to know if its a good ram give it a static shock if it lives its a good ram...congrats :v
This is amazing.
Waiting for Michael Reeves and Electroboom colab.
After this ladies are gonna love his fingers
Unfortunately 😂😂
when the two smart kids are grouped together for the project
I have static hit everyday on the job, I am already fear of metal doors, help ...
"No RAM has been hurt in the making of this video"
Legends say Mahdi takes electricity instead of coffee as stimulant
19:30 dshshhshsshhshshshsshshshshshsahhahaahah
Vaya dos genios
When I was working at Microsoft I saw someone fry their computer inserting additional ram. That was actually kind of funny, you would think a person working at Microsoft would have enough sense on the risk of electro static. The rug in that building was so bad, I was shocked on just about every door handle I touched every single day.
I wear Livestrong bracelet for anti static
I never grounded myself when building my pc. They couldnt kill it without shooting directly on the ram with the machine which is made to kill them.
Two of my favorite ISpulsers in the same video!! Woot woot!
14:43 Mmm good.. One more? lol
FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER!
I want that gun. I don't know why, but I need it. NOW!!
I want to spend 20 minutes with electroboom
this was epic
"i am fully charged" *linus about to touch the ram stick* me: better get my sandvich ready
> Me: sure buddy
An electric guitar literal 1:45
its your best video man^^ do more crossovers with other people
ExpressVPN 😂
I've never worn a static strap. I've never shocked a pc or any component to death, i usually rest my forearms on the case before i touch anything inside/while i'm touching things inside. If i see you wearin' a static strap and you're not working on a ridiculously expensive PC or server i'm gonna call you names.
Linux fucked up 😂 Will buy ltt static proof jacket so no one can mess around.
I probably should've died from touching the insides of a PSU.. but I didn't.
One of the most fun videos I watched on ltt since I have subscribed
The 1.9k people who disliked this are in for a real "shock!"
10:02 we can break it in half xD!!!
