How dangerous is it to disable PSU fan?

[Maxwell.]

Tell me. In what situation would I ever need a fan from 1995?

to cool yourself off with that fresh 1995 air of course

I mean I work with people who've had catastrophic losses for an insurance company and still have one of the highest customer satisfaction rates in my region for the job, but that's cool. It's also not like all the jobs I've ever done have required me to have some serious social graces and unreal levels of patience or anything either.

But that's cool, you do you I guess.

Film you touching a capacitor please. If it's not that bad you should just need a little aloe and you'll be fine.

If you're stupid enough to even consider that then you should probably do it.

wowe, rood.

If someone can take a lightning bolt I really don't see how you can kill yourself on an unplugged ps. Just calling it how I see it not trying to be an ass. The kid probably had a weak heart.

Hell, let's get real honest. Most PC savvy people(to the point of taking apart a power supply by yourself at 16) aren't exactly going to be the most fit humans out there.

I'm all out of those bait images so you'll have to use your imagination.

Irony knows no bait.

I understand you're saying that I used a hugely different example to point out that it wasn't dangerous, but the point I was trying to make is that people have survived much harsher shocks and do it more regularly than people getting killed by a power supply. It kinda went with my comment on human resilience.

[HellHound]

More regularly? Maybe, but that's because people who fiddle with PSUs know the dangers of it.

[Dionysusan]

quick someone get setro on the line

regardless of whether a PSU is probabilistically likely to kill you, discharging one of its capacitors into your finger will hurt badly and probably leave a considerable burn.

[Kaz]

I don't really know anything about them and I've fiddled with them before. Light fiddling sure, but I've handled them.

Yes, I said this early on.

So what are you trying to say?
