Hello, Toms probably a really stupid question I'm going to ask, but will cigarettes nicotine prevent my graphics card to run warmer.
Lets go 6 months further and said i have smoked cigarettes at my PC from 1st april - 1st october.
Will that increase the heating of my GFX and stuff?
Not because I'm smoking with my PC. just wanted to know.

Cigarette smoke leaves a sticky residue on everything(walls, ceilings, etc). This residue will get on the fans and heatsinks and will help dust collect and reduce the ability of the fan/heatsink to get rid of heat and the temperature of the computer will go up over time.

LOL, funny question. It sure wouldn't smell nice when it gets heated up! If you asking if tar buildup would work like canola oil... maybe? but highly doubtful. It's amusing to think about :p  it wuld be hard to keep dust out.
