Is It Safe?

[idupes]

Have you tried Deoxit or WD40 Specialist Electrical Contact Cleaner to clean a dusty PC? I saw another YouTuber use Brake Cleaner to clean a dusty PC....

I went a little long between cleanings and a can of Air Duster and the old Air Compressor isn't able to do the job. I wasn't sure where to post this but since I would be applying chemicals on the MOBO PCB, GPU, PSU, cooling fans, and other electrical components doesn't sound safe. I trust isopropyl alcohol to an extent.

using that would be the same as a can of duster, its not like it will blow out harder to blow away more dust, just get a can of air duster and get up on your board to blow that dust away. i never used it but if it doesn't specifically say its made to be used on computers dont risk it. and no you dont want any liquids to touch any part of your pc

Try getting a vacuum cleaner and putting it in reverse. I do that and it works like a charm!

Or get an air compressor.

 

Hope this helps

It's quick drying liquid and it looks like it works miracles for removing dust buildup on PSB. It could be the way we all clean our computers down the road if more tech people trust, use and recommend it. It seems safer than using an air compressor and busting off capacitors. Thanks for the response.

I would think a Shop vac would still produce a static discharge. Thanks for the response.

I normally do and I also use a small brush for the stubborn spots. Thanks for the response.

if compressed air isnt working for you then you probably need more air pressure

I wouldn't think that isopropyl alcohol would be unsafe, corrosive or conductive. I've used it to clean thermal paste for years. I know they make special chems and wipes to remove old paste while others say just wipe it off with a coffee filter. Everyone has their own methods.
