You know how when you're spraying it and now and then moisture comes spraying out? Can that be harmful? I was installing a new card today and when I took the side of my case off I couldn't believe the amount of dust in there. So as I was spraying the air in there I get moisture down in my AGP slot and all over the m/b.

The stuff evaporates a second or so after it hits whatever. I used to spray that shit on my hands cause I thought it was cool Though it did "burn" after a while because it was extremely cold. So no, I doubt it would harm anything. And if your system is running fine now, that proves it

Nah, you are fine.

Hell, you could submerge your entire computer in water and it would be fine as long as it was dry when you powered it back up.

It won't hurt anything - it's not water. However, you shouldn't be holding the can in a position where it blows out fluid. Try to hold it upright to blow out only air, otherwise you're wasting it.

that stuff can cause frostbite if you are exposed to it for extended amounts of time

but if you use it on your system, it wont damage it (unless you shoot it at the laser in your cd-rom or continually use it on the chips)

I wonder.. if you got a really big can of air and sprayed the liquid all over the heatsink, would you be able to overclock higher because of the drastic decrease in temperature?

*runs off to OfficeMax to buy 1000 cans of compressed air*

I know I can hit 1500!

yea you can. I saw some time ago someone made this thing that was a pipe to the front of his case where he could rig up a can of air upside down and just Blast the stuff onto the heat sink. it was pritty neet. cans dont last long though.

I saw a swedish site not too long ago, and someone did that, but with nitroglycerin or something
