-_- Obviously, do not use the antistatic writs strap while attempting to change or touch something inside the CPU....... rather than having 35,000 volts run through your body, your choice.
Jewelry and Antistatic wrist strap
There is no such thing as "antistatic electricity". For this reason we can not answer your question.
A: it is not actually a tool but a ground wire connected to the earth ground which is connected to the chassis The best way to protect your system against ESD is to use a ground bracelet together with a ground mat. Consider a ground bracelet essential equipment when working on a computer.
You would place hardware on an anti-static mat to prevent static electricity from building up. If you don't have that, you could use other things such as an antistatic wrist strap or even antistatic bags.
•Antistatic monitor wipes or antistatic cloths should be used for cleaning the monitor
I'm not aware of any component you cannot touch. As long as the power is off and you are grounded properly. You would have to touch any component part in order to replace or upgrade it. When using a Antistatic wrist strap you should always male sure it makes contact your skin properly, if the strap has a crocodile clip at the end make sure it is attached to a suitable grounding point. You can clip it to the PC chassis but make sure the power is off at the wall socket but the plug is left inserted, if you unplug the PC completely there is no grounding. Saying all this grounding yourself is a bit over rated. I rarely use a grounding wrist strap and have never had an incident.
There is a strap which you wrap around your wrist and a wire with a clip on the end. Attach the clip to the chassis of the computer to eliminate static electric discharge. Any difference in voltage between the chassis and you will flow through the wire and be neutralized.
If you handle component boards / motherboards, etc. only by their edges, or occasionally touch a water pipe or other earthed metal fittings, to dissipate body static, then an antistatic wrist strap is not necessary. I don't wear one, but it depends on how confident you feel - if in doubt, wear one.
An antistatic is an agent or substance which prevents the buildup of static electricity.

Remove the bolts on one end of the strap and the strap should pivot down from the hinged end. Use ample lubricant on both ends of the strap.
The problem here is that you may encounter high voltages in the power supply. So wearing an antistatic wrist strap may put you at a greater risk of electric shock. Besides, there are few if any sensitive electronic components inside the power supply unit.In addition, make sure the power supply is not connected to any power before servicing it. If you need to go near any large capacitors, you will want to discharge them. In fact that is a good precaution to take any time you remove the circuit board from the power supply unit.
