As it was explained to me years ago, what effects the heart beat from the power line is not so much the voltage itself as the point in the signal waveform when it is touched. There are several critical chemical reactions that make the heart beat. Conditions vary with skin resistance, duration of contact, etc, but if those external conditions precisely match critical chemical reactions(s) at precisely the wrong time, the heart beat is is altered or stopped. Probably all of us at some time accidently touched a household power line, and while we felt it (!), the conditions were thankfully not correct to interfere with our heartbeat.
Off topic of course, but offered as an FYI.

Huh?

If messing with a power supply were so deadly, would almost every store that carries electronics carry them for the general public to buy? Just use a little common sense and dont go sticking your fingers everywhere.

Absolutely! Unless one knows what they are doing AND has a good reason to do so, the PS box should remain closed.
And BTW, that is the same good advise about the "meat grinders" turning next to those spinners! Have seen too many pictures of people leaning OVER the prop arc to make needle adjustments. Better to do so from behind the plane.
OK, OK I'm off topic again.

Always a good Idea to hit the Machines start button after unplugging it to discharge the capacitors , no matter what your tinkering with

I think you guys misunderstood my post. I meant if you´re NOT qualifed to take apart the power supply you should never ever do it. There´s holes for fans at the bottom and on the side of the power supply, just blow with compressed air blowing THROUGH theese holes and nothing more. If you´re an electrician and only electrician, and do know what you´re doing you CAN take the power supply apart if it´s necessary, but noone else. Otherwise you do it at your own risk. There´s even stated HIGH VOLTAGE on this box. AMD-processors DO have MUCH MORE heat-problems than Intel.

PS: That guy I talked about has been working with PC:s for 30 years, so I think he knows a lot.

There is NO danger takeing a power supply apart, unless you are Edward Sissor Hands!

[jeffpn]

But why would you? If you have a defective supply, replace it. They're not that expensive. The unused wires don't bother me!!

The unused wires ----- bother me! A LOT!

I dont think so. An electrician knows how to take the power supply apart because they know how to do. Noone else doesn´t know it therefore they leave it and just blow the otside and through the ventholes with compressed air blowing, I havn´t said anything more than that. Next time, read my posts more carefully before you write something back please or if you don´t understand them, read them again or use google translate.

Roger that, Swedish boy. Next time I wish to have an opinion, I'll ask you for one.

I´m a man not a boy.

The only thing you have to do is to clean your PC inside with compressed air blowing INCLUDING the power supply. If you wan´t your PC to work for many years you should do this. It´s exactly the same with a car, if you not mainaining it you´ll slowly kill it. No more discussion about this.

[jeffpn]

Ok, no more discussion. There is no need to take apart your power supply. Thank you for finally coming around.
