That I have not, I know at home they are on the same surge protector however but at work they are not, funnily enough both have gigabyte boards and asus monitors, and evga PSUs

When I tested this I was sitting down and not moving and it was sitting on a wooden desk. no carpet, no clothes hitting it etc. I updated test results above. I do not think its static.
