isopropyl alcohol and a static free cloth/rag. q-tips and cotton swabs will work too.

so acetone would b out of the question?and thats rubbing alcohol????what would b static free??

Demont · Aug 10, 2002

acetone works too, fewer people have it though. i meant lint free, so you dont get crap everywhere. kleenex or cotton.

I once heard that some type of acohol is good for that sort of thing. The science behind that being that it dries and evaporates quickly. But, I wouldn't put acohol on my hardware unless after full research, as it might be a problem in the logic or something...

well what kind of "dust" you mean?

a paintbrush or any soft brush can do the job quite well on things you would clean with air fors instance.

like i said, i meant lint-free not static free when i mentioned it. was a mistake. static isnt a problem unless you are like... rubbing a carpet sample against your mobo during the winter, lol =). alcohol swab i dont really know what that is, sorry

I've even soaked CPU's in little 5oz. cups of alcohol and wiped them off after a few minutes. As long as they dry properly, alcohol poses no risk to components.

I use Q-tips and alcohol to clean the mobo. I just unplug the power cord when I do it so everything is in good shape. Then I wait 5 minutes after I am done to make sure the alcohol is evaporated then I am set to go no problems ever. I detail clean my computer once a month on average. Then I use a can of air to blow out and dry everything as well.

i use a weird setup.....a bristle brush from a parts cleaner...the kind that solvent flows through.....i hooked it to my vacuum with a 2' long chunk of 3/8" fuel hose duct taped to a vacuum attachment we don't use.I did cut the bristles down to about an inch long.It works great....gets all the dust without hurting anything
