Just a guy. Totally lost and confused, and not socially adjusted enough not to say it out loud.

  • Hey, guys. Is it a good idea to dunk PC parts in isopropyl alcohol?

  • I studied medicine. I have a diploma. I know nothing about the tech accept that it's made of metal and crystals and plastic. And it has lightning in it.

  • 70 years is more than enough for me. Not planning to spend more with my physical body.

    But thanks for the story. I'll make sure to try and remember it.

    Just as a clarification. How much did he smoke a day? Was it more than up to five cigs a day? Because that is my limit and has been for years. So I could have more than 70 years in me.

  • Not dense, just not very well adjusted. Thank you.

  • My dude. Just because I'm asking stupid questions, doesn't mean I'm a child. It may be really dumb, but it seems plausible enough to ask. And what's an FF?

  • What is "Modern" to you? This is an important question. Are components originally made around 2008 still modern?

  • I am the danger. I worked with more volatile stuff. I've done things that would give an OSHA inspector a stroke, and I'm fine, because I'm not THAT stupid. But thank you for the concern.

  • Thank you. But why would I replace fans? They work fine. It hasn't even been a decade.

    Or do you mean replace as in with liquid cooling?

  • Okay. That does not answer the question. I mean, good for you, I guess.

  • I haven't been insulted like this in literal years. I did think of it. In fact, I would do it if it was possible.

    You know what, I'll just rant at you, because I can.

    I live with two other smokers in an apratment that is around 28 square meters. I can't convince them to smoke outside (I tried for years, actually decades). Me smoking outside would change nothing.

    Just so you know, the two mentioned smokers are very upset to be mentioned here.

    Smoke whatever you want wherever you want. Just don't assume everyone's situation is the same. I never asked for health advice, just tech advice. It is painful to read comments from all these self righeous pricks telling me how to live my life (no offense, your comment just happened to be the straw that broke the camel's back). If I want to die from lung cancer, that is my choice. If I want to smoke inside an apartment that is already considered a "hotbox" by most standards (even without me smoking inside), then you can bet your pretty face I will.

    Thank you for your imput. Hope it goes well with quiting vaping. Cheers.

  • You know nothing about my situation. I can't do that. If I could I would.

  • If it was acetone I would believe it. Were you alone? Are you sure nobody drank it? Half a litre of alcohol won't evaporate in just a few minutes from a bottle. Evaporation is related to surface area and temperature. So unless it was 40 Celsius or the thing was in an open container (not bottle) then it would literally be impossible. Unless it was for several hours, but it sounds like you just left it for a couple minutes.

  • I would, but evidence seems to suggest that is not a very good idea.

  • So messing with thermal paste should be avoided. Noted. I could just re-apply it after. I'll be replacing the graphics card, so I thought I'd give the rest of the parts a cleaning. So, submerging/soaking = no, squirt bottle in strategic places = yes.

    Thank you for answering the question in a comprehensive way, it is surprisingly rare, and I appreciate it very much.

  • My lungs have a self-cleaning feature, and my PC doesn't.

    Feel free to roast me for my lack of tech literacy and dumb ideas, but not my health. I have calculated everything. My body will be fine for as long as it needs to be.

  • I'm mostly cleaning heat sinks, surfaces, and circuit boards. I can't reach into some spots even with a q tip, so I'm looking for alternative solutions. I'm pretty sure 10 to 15 minutes submerged in 96% alcohol wouldn't dissolve my PC like styrofoam in acetone. Although I could be wrong, I'm not an expert.

  • I think that is literally physically impossible. The strongest you can buy is 96-98%, I think. I don't even think it is possible to distill it past about 99%.

  • Why not submerge them and let the dirt dissolve? What is the danger in doing that?
