The PCB on my GPU is getting beginning to collect a lot of dust. What's the best way to clean it? I've heard rubbing alcohol, but I was just going to stick with compressed air.
Also, how delicate is the PCB? Because if it was that delicate, I would have thought manufacturers would have a plate or guard to go over it. I've seen videos of people handling their GPU's with their hands all over the PCB. And I've seen those GPU support brackets that Cooler Master supply with some of their cases, and from what I've seen they clamp down straight on the PCB, surely that's not good for the GPU. Like, it makes an audible scrape on the PCB when it's being mounted.
Or maybe I've been handling them with way too much care. Like, really, if my finger nail taps a pin on the PCB I'm like "fuck I hope it still works" (of course it does, but I'm just saying)
