It’s ethyl alcohol

#

76%

#

isopropyl 90% or higher

#

too low of a mix will make it evaporate much much slower, leaves the chance of creating a short and killing something when next powered

also if you use really concentrated stuff like 99.99% isopropyl i wont conduct electricity no matter what

1st is argb for lighting

2nd is 4 pin pwm for fan control. goes into the cpu fan header, assuming thats from the cpu cooler fan

you can also get away with dry paper towel in a pinch
