Hi all, I’m trying to give my PC a clean up. My bedroom has been suffering humidity issues and I recently discovered mould has been growing in my wardrobe space. While I’ve been able to correct the humidity problem and have cleaned up the mould as best as I can, I’m concerned my PC might have been affected by being in the same room for several months.
I’m aware electronics aren’t prone to mould, being 99% plastic and metal, but I would like to perform a deep clean for peace of mind. I’ve had to throw out some books and send some clothing to the dry cleaners. If there is indeed mould growing somewhere inside, the last thing I want is to turn it on and disperse it everywhere!
Is it safe to open up my GPU to inspect the inside? I have an Asus rtx 3070 and the plate looks like it can be unscrewed. I would like to make sure there isn’t any mould inside the card and to give the fans a wipe.
