Hey everyone! I'm switching cases and noticed my GPU is pretty dusty. It doesn't have a backplate, so I'm looking for the safest way to clean it up before I install it. Would using a blow dryer set to cold work? Should I use a brush instead? Any tips would be super helpful. Thanks!

When it comes to cleaning dust off your GPU, avoid using stiff brushes or rags because those can damage the fragile components. A soft bristle toothbrush can work for spot cleaning if you have any debris on it. However, the best method is to use an air duster can or an electronics cleaning blower. If this is just a one-time clean, a can of duster will do the trick. Just make sure to hold the fans in place while you blow air on the GPU to prevent them from spinning too fast and causing issues!
How about using a brush like this one? It's super soft, would that be okay?
