Burning incense stick in same room as my computer harmful for GPU?

[G9xftw]

Like the question says....could there be harm if the incense stick smoke circulates through my GPU heatsink? also are other components at risk?

The smoke shouldn't cause any hardware problems, it will simply just allow dust to stick to things easier.

So, you'll probably have to clean your PC more often if this is a regular occurrence.

A smoke particle can cause a head crash in a hard disk drive.

That's why everyone uses SSD's. 😀
