just put in on a plastic/hardwood surface with a layer of anti static wrappin between the componants and the table

works for me

 

[enVias]

anything with a layer of anti static wrapping lol

 

[NickS]

Wood. Wood is static free.

Plastic can have surface static a lot of the times.

Magazines work, also.

your mobo came in the box with a sheet of foamy stuff......use that

 

[NickS]

Or that. I was always afraid that wld melt easily from the excessive heat.

 

[Dav0s]

mob traces dont produce heat, or they would easily melt themselves. this is why mosfets etc get very hot, they tend to take the heat from the rest of the mobo

 

[deepfried]

indeed, the best option as was said is to just use teh packaging it came in

 

[NickS]

Dave, ever feel the back of a PCB while the computer is on?

Or, if you have a light-weight aluminium case like me, ever feel the other side?

Tend's to get VERY hot.

PCB can reach temperatures excess of 50ºC where mosfets, north & south bridges are, etc.

Yeah, PCB'S get DAMN hot I bruned my hand on my network adapter once, imagine a mobo

 

[deepfried]

oh im sorry nick, i really do apologise, when i can afford the best a64 system around and a brand new dfi ill get them, butuntil then stfu about other peoples systems, all your doing is showing how stuck up yourself you are and my mobo might not be the best, but at least when it says 25*c chassis temp i dotn have to piss my self and run off to get a thermometer :nutkick:
