Yes, I would like to use the contact cleaner, i've read that cleaning them with a moistened RAM with contact cleaner would do the job, but I'm afraid that with the friction i could set it on fire, or is it very unlikely?

because they are old and have never been used? and i want them to work like new?

i recently bought new RAM, but the slots in which I want to put them are very old and have never been used. This is the contact cleaner that I'm going to use. (i've no other choice) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnHZ58Dd0HI i think of 2 ways. 1. Unplug everything from the motherboard and clean it with an electric duster then apply the contact cleaner directly on the Slots. or 2. Instead of applying the contact cleaner directly, moisten a RAM stick with contact cleaner and take it in/out the slot a few times to remove corrosion. Could the friction plus the contact cleaner damage the slot? like set it on Fire or something like that? Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide.

i recently bought the Viewsonic XG2402 and i found out that it has a 1:1 mode, I do know that 1:1 pixel mapping only uses the pixels required from the resolution i've set, but... Does this reduce the input lag? Between "Full" , "Aspect" and the 1:1 mode which one should i use in order to reduce the input lag? Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide.

Just to be sure... if i downgrade the Bios to an older version, Would that remove the Spectre/Meltdown patch? or it's saved somewhere else in the CPU.

Gigabyte z270x Aorus Gaming 5... I've experienced some performance drops since i installed the latest bios which contains a "cpu microcode update" and I would like to go back to one of the following: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z270X-Gaming-5-rev-10#support-dl-bios Let's say i don't care about the security patches and i roll it back to the F7 version, the biggest question is... Would that remove the cpu microcode update? Or is it pointless since it won't remove the microcode update from the CPU? Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide.

I have two memory sticks from the same manufacturer with the same speed but with silly latency differences, Should i flash the older stick with the new SPD profile? or even downgrade the newer to match the other. How safe is it? anyone has a software in mind to do it?

thanks for your answer! i kinda want to flash the older stick with the new SPD profile, or even downgrade it to match the other. It shouldn't be so hard right? since the only difference between the two is the die density and composition.

thanks for your answer! i just tested the memory with Aida64 and yes it's running on Dual channel.

Both are G.skill Trident Z with the same speed 3200Mhz but not exactly the same latency since i bought them separately. This is what CPU Z shows me.
