I’ll be straight with it. I’m a smoker, I smoke inside, I have a PC that is also inside. I want to clean my PC thoroughly to buy it a few more years. I know about the q tip method, and the compressed air, and general methods of cleaning out gunk and junk from PC parts. But this boy is way too gunked up for a regular cleaning. So, I reckon, the easiest way to clean it is to dunk the dirtiest parts in a bath of isopropyl alcohol. I was considering acetone at first, but it’s way too strong of a solvent, and alcohol should be better at dissolving organic residues. Is this a good idea?
I hereby submit this query to the council, and await judgement.


Wont that destroy every soder connection in there?
Hi, sorry for extremely late reply. Ultrasonic should not destroy good solders. Weak, bad solders might give up. Techyes city had a video on it on youtube a while back.
Apparently Kingpin uses an ultrasonic cleaner and hasn’t seen any problems as a result… However he acknowledges that some people say it’s bad for electronics:
