Since I have to take my entire motherboard out to install my Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (forgot about needing to install the bracket on the backside of the mobo), I figured it was high time to a good, thorough cleaning.
Obviously I'm gonna get several can of compressed air, but would a soft makeup brush (like the kind ladies apply blush with) be good to lightly dust the PCB components? I don't want to accidently bend a capacitor or anything. Any suggestions on what to use in conjunction with the cans o' air to get the pcbs super-clean?
And one other thing, I was watching a video on installing the 212 EVO, and the guy mentioned using low profile RAM, since RAM with heat spreaders could hit the fan. Think I could install the cooler and fan facing the opposite direction or will I run the risk of the fan hitting the heat speaders on the Voltage regulators (I've got an Asus P8Z68-V/GEN3)? I've got 2 sticks of corsair vengeance already installed, and two more on the way. Think I'll be screwed until I can save up, and buy 2 8GB sticks of Corsair Vengeance, and just use them in 2 slots, instead of populating all 4 with 4GB sticks?
Thanks in advance, and I hope ya'll will have good news... :/
