How to clean the back of a MSI GTX 970?

[Wayfall]

Hi

I would just like to ask for some advice on how i go about cleaning the back of the GPU, my GPU does not have a back plate, i see lots of metal pieces all over the back so i don't want to damage it.

My PC is rather clean and has a side windows displaying my awesome pc setup. Its just the GPU can get dust sitting on it as my case is standing up so the fan of the GPU is facing down and the back plate is facing up so it is a flat survive that if dust gets in a bit it'll rest on top of the GPU.

Do i do it safely?

air in a can from photo shops.

With compressed air. But I highly recommend to do it outside of your house.

Ye i have tried an air can but of the dust is having trouble detaching from the card

Alcohol wipes. Still, if that dust is not that big of an issue for you just leave it.

I would strongly advise not to use a paint brush, strong chance of a static charge build up.
