Hi all

I got a quick question regarding the canned air. Is the 'white' liquid considered conductive when its sprayed out out of the can?

Can it damage any pc components after you sprayed white liquid on the motherboard?

thanks all

I believe you're not familiar with the definition of "conductive" Look at the label and read the MSDS number. Then, you can look that up and obtain all the properties of the chemical components.

The answer to your second question is no. Canned air is a gas and one of its uses is to remove all dust and debris from the inside of the computer. It won't damage anything if used correctly.

Life's more painless for the brainless.

If you got white frost you aren't using the can in accordance with the recommendations. Short bursts only prevents the freezup. The remaining fluid is condensed water from atmosphere and once evaporated will do no harm.

I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.
