I just replaced my PSU (only the unit not the cables) after it fried

[keen cipher]

now when i touch my pc and a 3.5mm jack cable at the same time i feel electricity flowing, just when i touch this cable though, any other jack cable doesnt do the same

When my pc power cable is unplugged it still happens

When I unplug my 2 displayport plugs it stops

When my displayport plugs are unplugged and the power cable is plugged it also happens

So either with displayport or power cable plugged in

Its normal, its ungrounded.

Isnt it supposed to be grounded tho?

[silent hearth]

I think the PC might be grounded but a device connected is not, like the monitor, everything should be shielded well enough that you don't need it to be grounded

However it could be a bad sign incase you get a power surge at some point depending how modern your house electricity is

But even then your house breaker should just trip

so its probably not a concern, nothing is at risk

modular psu?

[keen cipher]

full modular yes

[keen cipher]

the house was built 4 years ago so i would say its pretty modern

[candid silo]

using the cables that came with it?

[keen cipher]

yes, then a week ago i had to replace the psu with warranty bc it fried, i got the same model and i used the cables of the old fried psu since they were already cable managed in my case, i did not use new cables

[candid silo]

that might be the issue

try using the new cables

[keen cipher]

i didnt get those, since i also did not send the old cables back

[candid silo]

hm

[keen cipher]

besides, i only feel this current when i touch one particular jack cable, i dont feel the current when i let go and touch anything else thats grounded etc

and i only feel the current in the finger thats touching the cable

so it might not be my case

[silent hearth]

It should be fine then

if any surge comes it'll just trip the breaker anyway

[keen cipher]

and my psu will survive?

not feeling like going through the warranty process again
