cleaning components

I cleaned full pc. and i used paint brush to clean GPU fans and after deep cleaning pc i turned on perfectly booted. But when i started a game i got frame drops, can someone help? I using Nvidia 1050 TI Graphic Card.

I've heard about 70% alcohol but what about 100%? Currently replacing my PSU right now, wiping the psu place with 100% alcohol on a fiber cloth(the one usually used to clean ur glasses), is this a good idea? 100% alcohol shouldn't have any water.

Hello, After a sugary drink spillage, I cleaned my mechanical keyboard with Electronics Contact Cleaner (non-conductive and smells like a mix of Alcohol and nail polish remover). After cleaning the keys, I oiled them with Silicone Oil spray. I have 2 keys that after being oiled worked fine for...

Is it safe? It's the only Isopropyl alcohol I have on hands. Its composition: Isopropyl alcohol solvent anionic surfactant silicone additive preservative dye vehicle No idea what vehicle is, by the way.

Guys i have a question, i want to clean my AIO cause the grill was dusty enough but i need to take of the fan and the cable, but i cant plug it back and maybe to lazy to do, so any tips or trick from you guys? is using Compressed Air will do the job? Thanks a lot :D

It's finally time to reopen my case and really give it a good cleaning. I want to do this as safe as possible (for the pc.) I'm looking for tips and what I should buy to deep clean every bit. (not just compressed air blowing.) I mean things like what can I use to remove stubborn dust caked on...

I clean my PC regularly but I am curious what is the best way to clean off baked dust as that never comes off when using compressed air? I've not used anything else because of static being a concern.

Wasn't sure where to post this, so I apologize if this isn't the right place to ask. Anyways: I recently bought two of these air duster cans, planning to finally get some dust out of my pc. However, didn't initially think about the fact that using these inside might be dangerous, after all it is...

(Sorry if this is the wrong section, I wasn't really sure where to put my question) Hello everyone, So, a few days ago I discovered my liquid CPU cooler had leaked inside my computer. When the leak first started my PC turned itself on, and was on for about 20-30 seconds before I turned it off...

HELP! Used Isop Alcohol with MOISTURIZER to clean Ryzen CPU. Do I need to redo and how much did I screw up Hello, I foolishly bought a 70 % Isop Alcohol with MOISTURIZER, and cleaned CPU thermal paste, PCB of the CPU, some parts of the motherboard, RAM golden contact pins, and of course the...

After 2 years of using my PC daily, I finally decided it would be the time to change the thermal paste and clean it up a bit (never happened, I'm too lazy). So I ordered a Cooler Master IC Essential E2 thermal paste and an RGB fan for well, aesthetics I guess. I removed the CPU and the GPU fan...

My pc doesn't have a huge dust buildup but I still want to take care of it before it gets really bad. So, what's the best air compressor? A regular old air compressor with a tank or one of those little dust blowers that you see on Amazon (do they have moisture too?) Which one is more reliable...

I am about to "preliminarily" clean my PC case and it's various other parts (mobo,ram,CPU heatsink, fans etc) and I have a couple of lingering questions: 1. Can I use a material similar to a shoe brush, it's hairs are approximately 4-6 inches, will it induce an ESD shock to the component or do...

So as the thread title says, I have cleaned my pc ( fans, GPU and upper part of the motherboard) and the CPU got like temps 5C-7C higher in idle and I had an underclocked profile and it was still like 5-6 C higher, at full load ( normal profile AKA creator mode ) increased 3-5 C, and here when...

Hi! I am kind of confused, I really don't want my computer to have a reduced lifespan because of not being cleaned enough, but how much do I need to clean it to keep it healthy? Is it enough to use canned air to blow dust away, and use cotton buds to gently remove dust from fans, or is it more...

So, going from my previous post here looks like may GPU is dead, most likely a Vram failure. Only had it for 1 day so not exactly expecting issues already. I was hoping to start the process of getting it RMA'd or replaced this weekend, but Amazon support have been... interesting. Probably doing...

Hi all, I have had my self-built PC for several years now and I have never come around to properly cleaning it out until now. As far as I can tell the main idea is to go around all your components/fans/grills with a can of compressed air to remove dust and blockages. What I'm looking for is any...

Longstory short, friend had a 6700k with a thin layer of "grime" on the bottom where the contacts are. It doesn't look like thermal paste and it was sitting out so who knows. I have some electrical contact cleaner from WD-40 and some 91% Iso, but I've never cleaned contacts before, only the lid...

My PC recently became quite noisy out of the blue, so I decided to clean the dust off the GPU. (I didn't have any FPS drops back then, just the noise) I cleaned it with the softer side of an earstick, and just around the ribs, I didn't took the card apart. After seating it back I noticed that...

I have never cleaned my computer, last time it was cleaned, that was 2014's autumn, when it started restarting and something bad happened, so it had to be taken to the computer repairsman. Anyway, recently i started fearing that my pc would overheat and die, so i decided to look at the cpu...

Yeah I know I deserve what I get for even allowing liquid being near my machine... So some tea was spilled on my computer while it was running , I shut it off immidiately and started cleaning components. The computer is working now ( but the hdd feels quite a lot slower than before ) boot up...
