Did I destroy my cpu?

[what to do sia]

hi, i created an account specifically to ask if i did destroy my cpu or not, really urgent and require professional advice.

i was removing my cpu from my lga 1155 mobo and i felt a mild shock, will my cpu be damaged in anyway?

1. i wasnt wearing any antistatic strap
2. i touched my casing with my left hand but my right hand got the shock (when removing my hand not on casing)
3. i have slight sweaty palms
4. the iec was plugged in but psu was powered off.

is my cpu still gonna be functional? its an ivy bridge chip

No 10char. Try boot. Should work.

Then again something was shorting via the chassis. Maybe you should consider adding some O tapes between motherboard and the mounting screws?

Got install spacer standoff?

too humji to put it back and apply thermal paste to boot, scared later i shock it twice lol. its meant to be delivered to someone else tomorrow.

sorry to ask a stupid question but whats o tapes and which mounting screws?

I can't remember the correct term for it right now my bad.

The power cable plugged in and hand touching casing should have prevented static. The casing is painted or raw metal.

but i received a shock, is that referred to as a static? im sorry totally clueless regarding electricity terminology and how it works. the casing's painted

cannot be live what. So must be static lorh.

Small rings made of felt which are inserted on the mounting screws connecting the MB to casing. The felt rings act as an electric insulator between the MB and the casing.

If you felt an electric shock, this means that there has been a current. The responsible thing to do would be to test the CPU before delivering to your buyer.

Painted casing could has act as insulation. Try to boot up, then run cpu benchmarks?

If put back and start computer means no problem

where to buy the felt ring?
but what are the chances the cpu is destroyed? i'll give personal warranty in case it was destroyed

will do that tmr morning if i can. but what are the possibilities of it being fried?

Please do a check and make sure everything is good before selling. Don't take chances and waste your buyers' time.

*update

feeling too guilty so decided to try it out before delivery tomorrow.
cpu works YAY!

U prob just got a static shock from undischarged static buildup. Nothing much.

My bad if my physics logic turned rusty. How does static built up in such a condition where the chassis is properly earthed via PSU chassis? The paint coat?

He probably brought the static from somewhere else. Then just happen the chassis is metallic, discharge.

Its the same with aircraft rubber tyres mah. Aircraft gather static from clouds, atmosphere, etc, then upon impact of landing the accumulated static is discharge to the ground via the tyres.

Maybe TS's own imagination...

The static part is prob true, but the destroying CPU part...maybe...

If I want to go about destroying CPUs, just keep accumulating static in my hands and discharge them on other pple's comps?
