Nope. Everything I've read says to use one. I guess I could open up the windows and stay off of the carpet

Well. I would say YES if you live in like the Great White North where the humidity is 0%.
If you live in the South along the Gulf Coast. Nahhh... maybe 1 day out the year in February but not right now with the hot winters.

I would be surprised if any of the guys that have built PCs in here have ever used one.
And that is A LOT of builds

Gonna get to it now without the static thing. I'm hoping all goes well and I can have it up and running within a few hours

Got everything together. Haven't booted it up yet. All I can say is WIRES!!!!

First build? Have fun, the plex+ plex-, and all the other little wires are the hardest to get right.

I still have one founder code for Fortnite

Seems like I got everything working. Gotta install all of these drivers and make Windows un-retarded. I was able to get the processor to 4.3Ghz with a few clicks. Pretty sweet deal

I've personally built 2 PCs for myself and used the shite out of them.
I've helped build/repair a load of others for family and friends.
My problem is that I've been wanting to do a 4k HEDT gaming build for months but I've been pushing it out because of the current iffy situation in the industry I work in, and I can't justify spending 2.5k-3k, maybe more on a build right now.

Out of what? Anti-static bands?
Why? Where do you live? Dry climate I assume.

Another question guys:
So I have a Fractal Designs Define R5 case that came with two 120mm fans (it is really quiet). Instructions say to wire them up to a low-med-high switch on the front of the case, which I did. Is there any way I can wire these up to a DPDT switch so they can run off of interior heat sometimes, and off of the front multi-speed switch others? Should I try and figure out a way to run them off of interior heat only, or should I let it be, and just turn it up when I'm using it heavily?
I have a CM 212 on the CPU, and the P2000 video card has its own fan

Hook them up to the motherboard fan headers
Posted on 9/28/17 at 3:05 pm to bluebarracuda
I'll check to see where those are.
Did some ANSYS computations earlier, and this computer is about 3x faster than the ones at school. This one took 5 minutes to compute what those took 15 to do

There are at least 2 headers on the bottom right of the motherboard. Your mobo manual will show you where they are too

Grats on the build and losing your virginity. 
Never, ever used the anti static things and I've build PCs in the dead of winter in Virginia. If you use a little common sense you don't need them.

I think (someone jump in here if I'm wrong) your the first one in this thread who has went with the new LGA2066 Intel processors.
What do you think of the 7820x? How are the thermals?
Pretty crappy that Intel chose to hold the PCIE lanes hostage on this one as opposed to the 6900k.
