    Hello. Can I use regular vodka (40%) to clean the GPU in the Radeon 9800 from the old dried paste? Will nothing happen if I wet the processor, electronic components?

    Better if you clean it with alcohol (I use denatured alcohol) there is too much water in the water and it can flow where it is not needed and make a short circuit after cleaning, wipe with a paper towel and wait a few more minutes for the spirit to evaporate and it's ready

    I suggest cleaning the electronics with alcohol but isopropyl,
    as for the 40%, there are more noble ways to use it hehe
    :D

    40% of vodka is only suitable for drinking and biscuits, and for electronics, not because there is too much water in it and you have to dry it veeery long after bathing

    My friend, I suggest, as my colleagues wrote above, but I would blow it all with compressed air! Washing with alcohol your way and the air your own! This way you can clean almost like in a laboratory! :) greetings

    I electronic washes, cleans yes. I sprinkle everything generously with wd40, I wait until all the dirt, pastes, etc .. soaked, then I blow it off with a powerful compressor, then I pour denatured alcohol over everything to degrease it and at the end I blow this denatured alcohol abundantly, it dries quickly then. The electronics then look like new straight from the factory. Instead of denatured alcohol, you can also use extractive gasoline, but I prefer plywood :)

    Hello. I have been using extractive gas for a long time, it perfectly dissolves thermally conductive pastes and evaporates instantly.

Topic summary

Using 40% vodka to clean the GPU in a Radeon 9800 is not recommended due to its high water content, which can lead to potential short circuits. Instead, denatured alcohol or isopropyl alcohol is advised for cleaning electronic components, as they evaporate quickly and do not leave moisture behind. Compressed air can also be utilized to remove debris effectively. Some users suggest using extractive gasoline for dissolving thermal pastes, as it evaporates rapidly and is effective for cleaning. Overall, the consensus is to avoid vodka and opt for alcohol-based solutions for safe cleaning.
