This is my first build and I did something pretty stupid. While putting togeather my system, I totally forgot about how static can damage hardware. I was standing on a thick chinese throw rug or something at my comp desk...and I was handling the sides and bottom of my MB while setting it to the MB tray from my case. I never touched anything directly, only the sides and the bottom with the tips of my fingers. I also set the CPU to the MB, I handled the sides of the CPU and touched the top of the CPU directly with one finger (why? I don't know) But I'm worried I might have caused some static damage to the cpu or MB. I don't have the system up and running yet, still waiting on power supply. But I was wondering if there was a way to determine if there was any static dmg done to my CPU or MB.
Should I be worried or am I over-reacting? Thanks
P.S. I'll be setting the rest of my rig up in the bathroom on tiles.
