Incense smoke, will it damage my computer?

[oregonnative]

Hi everyone,

I came home to find my friend using my computer with incense lit in the room. It was about 12-15' away from the computer with a fan on. I am not a smoker, and I don't have anything burning in my computer room.

My question is, could this cause any damage to my computer? Is there something I should do with my computer to clean it/make sure it hasn't been damaged? It was a single incident which makes me believe it wouldn't have done any damage, but I would rather find out now and make sure I've taken all of the steps to verify nothing has been damaged.

I've put about $2000 into my rig (computer, monitor, etc), and I'd hate for it to be damaged by something as ridiculous as incense smoke.

Cheers,
ON

I'm sorry for posting this in this section, I figured it was related to computers so it fit here. I didn't see any other relevant section. Please move/remove if necessary.

It will be fine. Eventually it will smell like incense but that's about it.

Did you find out if it caused any damage?
fire damage Florida

Your sense of smell is pretty sensitive - there's not much of it in the actual air. Smoke is only a problem when it's coming from your computer.

Only problem it could ever cause is depositing stuff on the heatsinks - but you would need a huge amount.

EDIT: Just realised this was a bit of a gravedig...
