Best way to clean GPU PCB?

[TechiGamer]

Hi,

I have a gpu that has a very dusty pcb. I would like to clean it so that it looks new.
I read that 99% isopropyl alcohol with cotton pads and qtips is the best, but is there a professional solution that is used by professional companys? I dont want to cause any problems to the gpu and would like to use something that is tested and approved to work on these types of products.
Also, when wiping with cotton pads, small hairs get stuck in the components.
Please dont comment compressed air because it is not able to take off the fine layer of dust.

Bsically my question is:
How (through what procedure/method) and with what (cleaning products etc.) can I SAFELY clean my entire gpu to make it look like new?
Please dont say compressed air.

Thanks in advance.

99% isopropyl alcohol is fine...
for cleaning, use the mats that come with spectacles...

Use a clean paintbrush while using compressed air.

With 99% alcohol, could I just dump a decent amount of that liquid onto the top portion of the gpu without causing any issues?

Thanks for the link.

Is 91% or 99% alcohol COMPLETELY safe to use on a bare pcb?
Can you please use links to verify any claims?

I just dont want to wreck my 280x.

Awesome! Thanks for the links.

What would be a good product to rub the alcohol and gpu pcb safely?
I assume something antistatic would be best.
I usually use cotton cosmetic pads, but its annoying how small hairs and pieces get stuck in the sharp components.
Any ideas?

u can use a soft brush...usually, thats the recommended tool...
